Every Thursday at 8pm, people all around the nation take to their doorsteps or windows to applaud the NHS and key workers.
The Clap for our Carers shows us gratitude to those on the front line at a time of crisis.
And once again, at Sunderland Royal Hospital, health and emergency workers gathered – at a safe distance – to join in.
Our snapper Stu Norton was there, and as ever, captured some wonderful images.
