The large 'thank you' rainbow is on display in Herrington Country Park in Sunderland to show the city's appreciation for all NHS, social care, care, key and frontline workers who are working hard through the coronavirus pandemic.
It's just part of countless tributes in the city to our heroes on the frontline fighting the disease and keeping Sunderland running during the crisis, with everything from rainbow posters and teddies in windows to landmarks lit up and thousands taking part in the weekly Clap for Carers.
