Harrogate district joins national thank you to NHS
Residents and staff at a care home in Harrogate raised flags yesterday to say thank you to NHS staff, care workers and other front-line workers.
After showing their support, the residents at Larchfield Manor residential home on Leadhall Grove observed a two-minute silence and a rendition of The Last Post.
They later raised a toast to those who have helped others during the pandemic and enjoyed a celebratory afternoon tea.
The activities were held to mark the UK's first-ever national Thank You Day on Sunday, which was created to recognise those who have helped the country during covid.

The team of bell ringers, which included retired and current NHS employees, sounded the bells 73 times on what was the 73rd anniversary of the founding of the NHS.
