	May be a bit colder than clapping in the spring/summer lockdown though. Clap for Carers looks set to return this Thursday at 8pm, under a new name. Annemarie Plas, who came up with the weekly ritual that ran for 10 weeks during the first lockdown, tweeted that the tradition would be returning as Clap for Heroes. She said: “We are bringing back the 8pm applause, in our 3rd lockdown. “I hope it can lift the spirit, of all of us. Carers teacher, homeschooling parents, those who shield and ALL who is pushing through this difficult time! Please join & share! #clapforheroes.” Ms Plas, a Dutch national living in south London, came up with the “spontaneous idea” as a way to show support for frontline workers battling Covid-19, and thought it might end up being just her and a few friends sharing the moment on video chat. However, it quickly became a national tradition every Thursday at 8pm during the first lockdown.
