For the second week in a row, people across the country stood in unity, on their doorsteps, to clap for the NHS.
The show of appreciationย for NHS workers, and all other key workers who don't quite get the credit they deserve in these unprecedented times, took place at 8pm on Thursday.
And the rounds of applause didn't stop on doorsteps, as fire crews and police officers from East Lancashire and beyond gave a blues and twos salute to the heroes fighting the coronavirus on the front line.
In Blackburn, firefighters used their inside knowledge of lighting and camera angles to set up this professional looking video.
