WATCH: Scarborough ice cream van joins in with clap to thank key workers

The Clap For Our Carers campaign began last week and encouraged people across the UK to applaud the health service and its staff.

The clap was repeated last night to give continuing thanks not just to the NHS but all key workers that are working tirelessly during the coronavirus pandemic.

Once again tens of thousands of people across the country clapped from their doorsteps, balconies or windows.

Residents across Scarborough also joined in, as seen in this video as well as a local ice cream business which sounded its chimes.

The van is owned by local business Angie's Ice Cream Hire Scarborough which wanted to show it's appreciation.

"As a non essential business we are staying home an staying safe, we miss our lovely customers but care about them an want to see them safe an well after this pandemic is over."
