UPDATE

Right across the village people stood at their doorsteps tonight to applaud NHS workers and all others helping to keep the country running.

A round of applause for our NHS staff and all those caring for us at this time is being proposed for later this week.

At 8pm on Thursday, March 26, people across the country are being asked to stand at their windows, front doors, balconies for a round of applause.

Many streets in Titchfield are already bedecked with flags and banners to show our support and defiance in the present crisis.

While the majority of people are now safely working from home and social-distancing to lower the chances of ourselves and our loved ones catching the deadly virus, for those working on the front line this isn't possible.

Doctors, nurses, porters, emergency call workers and other NHS staff are still going to work every day to keep the health system working - putting themselves at risk of getting sick.

Give them a big round of applause on Thursday!
