London landmarks light up blue to celebrate NHS and frontline heroes
Trafalgar Square and the London Eye were among the venues which took part in the campaign.
Iconic landmarks in London lit up blue in a renewed gesture of thanks to the NHS and frontline workers.
Well-known buildings and sporting and entertainment venues across the capital illuminated in blue on Thursday evening to celebrate the hundreds of workers who have put their lives on the line during the pandemic to help others.
Blue lights beamed from the spires of The Shard, as well as the globe atop Madame Tussauds.
“By lighting up buildings in blue in their honour, our capital is again standing together to thank them for their tremendous efforts.
“These workers deserve our praise and our thanks, and I urge Londoners to continue following the lockdown rules so they can play their part in supporting the NHS and save lives.”
It coincided with the revamped Clap for Carers, which was relaunched as Clap for Heroes, on Thursday night which encouraged people to once again applaud outside their homes for “every hero who has played their part through the pandemic”.
