Britain's tenth weekly Clap for Carers event may be the last, after the woman behind the idea said she will no longer take part after tonight.
Millions of people across the UK have lined their thresholds, gathered - while socially distancing - on pavements, and stood in their gardens at 8pm every Thursday to demonstrate their support for care staff and frontline workers.
But the ritual has been criticised by some for becoming "politicised", while others, including NHS staff, have said some people who take part in the clap then wilfully ignore the plea to stay at home and avoid gatherings in an effort to ease the strain on the healthcare system.
