It's Clap For Carers again tonight at 8pm. So how will Islanders show their respects?

Sheppey has been making sure frontline workers know they are valued during the coronavirus crisis.

As well as clapping in the streets, banging pots and pans and setting off fireworks for NHS staff and key workers, many posters of thanks and rainbow pictures have been appearing across the Island.

Community radio station BRFM is floodlighting its transmitter mast in the NHS colour of blue every Thursday from 8pm to 9pm.

Spokesman Karen Murphy said: "We have had permission from Civil Aviation Authority and coastguards and the council have been notified."

Leysdown parish council has erected two big posters at The Spinney and by the 'giant man' and scattered 10 smaller ones around the village.

Staff at the Little Oyster residential home have pasted messages on their windows asking passers-by to wave to residents and to "spread kindness not Covid-19."

Homes have been leaving 'thank-you' notes and coloured rainbows for Swale council's bin men and delivery drivers.

Lewis Feaver of Rob's Traditional Greengrocers said: "Little notes have made us smile during our deliveries. Some lovely customers have also been supplying us with cake, biscuits and Easter eggs, too."

Entertainers like singer Alex Nicole Jamieson have taken to their front gardens to bring a little light relief to housebound neighbours and others have been content to record special songs and post them on social media.

In Queenborough, two pipers made sure everyone was aware of the Thursday 8pm clapping for carers ritual by performing in the car park outside the Queen Phillippa guest house and Jacey's bistro bar.

You might see them there again tonight.
