THOUSANDS of people took to social media shortly after 8pm after they had been stunned to discover themselves clapping alone at their doorsteps, with many not realising that last week’s clap was ‘formally’ the final one.
The event gained momentum after starting at 8pm on March 25, nonetheless, organiser Annemarie Plas, 36, a Dutch national who lives in south London, said: “it’s good to cease it at its peak.”
Louise Buttery said she and her household still did the clap, tweeting: ‘Well we still did!!! The virus hasn’t gone, the NHS are still working their a**** off, care home staff are still caring and we are still grateful for everything.’
While Keith Derham shared that he just did not realise he would be the only one clapping, tweeting: ‘Yeah, I was the only one out on my street before realising last week was the final one. #clapforcarers.’
