The Beckhams were among the stars who joined the nation in applauding NHS workers and carers on their doorsteps on Thursday night.

At 8pm on Thursday, people around the country took to their balconies and doorsteps to clap and cheer, as a gesture of collective thanks to frontline healthcare heroes.

That same night, Victoria Beckham shared a video on her Instagram page showing husband David and children Harper, Cruz and Romeo outside their home applauding.

She wrote: “Happy to be able to come together tonight with the whole country to thank the brave healthcare workers and brilliant NHS working tirelessly in the fight against COVID-19. Xx”

David added in the video: “We’re so proud of you, thank you so much.”

James Bond star Daniel Craig and wife Rachel Weisz also recorded a tribute, which was shared on the official James Bond Twitter account.

The same video also featured footage of fellow Bond stars Ben Whishaw and Naomie Harris.
