The Stray Ferret has produced this video in tribute to our key workers... Thank you to everyone who has worked on the frontline during this pandemic...

After 10 weeks of community spirit and support, The Stray Ferret has reflected on the appreciation shown from people all over the borough.

Every Thursday at 8 pm for the past 10 weeks the sound of clapping, cheering and wooden spoons hitting saucepan lids has filled the streets of the district as we celebrated those working on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic.

But the founder of the 'clap for carers'  has now said this is a good time for the clapping to end.

Steve Russell, the Chief Executive of Harrogate Hospital was outside the hospital for the official final clap.

Although the official clap marks its end, I think we all know that the communities across Harrogate will carry on clapping inside for weeks months and years to come... I am incredibly proud of my team here and really grateful to everyone that has shown so much support.
