Carrie Symonds says she's clapping NHS heroes 'harder than ever' after Boris' recovery
CARRIE SYMONDS, the fiancee of Boris Johnson, said that she is clapping for the NHS heroes "harder than ever" after Boris' coronavirus recovery.
Clap for Carers: People across the UK take part in campaign
Carrie Symonds took to Twitter to express her gratitude for the NHS after the 8pm Clap for our Carers. She said:" Clapping harder than ever tonight for our carers. You are the best of Britain.
Mr Johnson spent a week in St Thomas' Hospital, including three nights in intensive care.
The couple, who are expecting their first child together in the summer, have now retreated to the prime minister's country home of Chequers while he recovers from the coronavirus.
She said: "The staff at St Thomas' Hospital have been incredible.
"I will never, ever be able to repay you and I will never stop thanking you."
She added: "There were times last week that were very dark indeed. My heart goes out to all those in similar situations, worried sick about their loved ones.
"Thank you also to everyone who sent such kind messages of support. Today I'm feeling incredibly lucky."
For the fourth week in a row, millions of Britons have taken part in a nationwide applause to show their gratitude for NHS workers from doorsteps, balconies and open windows.
It has become a weekly event that displays a massive show of support for the UK’s emergency workers who are caring for coronavirus patients.
Over the past month, locked-down streets have come together on their doorsteps to clap in unison, while in cities applause rings out across otherwise quiet skylines as people stand on their balconies or at their windows.
