It wasn't just residents on doorsteps - the fire service also joined in, appearing at the hospital to sound their sirens and flash their lights in a display of thanks.

All at The Scarborough News join with the town to say thank you to every key worker on the front line working to keep us safe and get us through this pandemic.

The idea behind the campaign, which was widely shared on social media, is to show appreciation for doctors, nurses, GPs, carers and every other NHS worker during the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.
