Don’t attend Peterborough hospital for NHS celebration this weekend, residents told

The country is invited to celebrate the NHS this Sunday at 5pm with a minute of clapping.

While families are being urged to take part in the applause from home, hospital staff are asking people not to turn up at the hospital.

Throughout the lockdown residents stood on doorsteps, in gardens and on balconies every Thursday night for a minute’s applause for key workers.

There were also some spectacular scenes at Peterborough City Hospital with organised events, including convoys from lorry drivers and taxi drivers, and a stunning display from the emergency services.

A thanksgiving service for the NHS will also be streamed this SUnday from Peterborough Cathedral
