While people across the country stopped baking banana bread and Zoom calling to come out on to their doorsteps at 8pm last night and clap for the NHS, east London’s Woolwich Ferry took its celebrations a little bit further. 

The commuter ferry, that helps Londoners travel from the north to the south bank of the river with a sprinkling of sea breeze, pulled some serious shapes on the Thames to tie in with Thursday night’s Clap for Our Carers campaign. 

People took to Twitter to share videos of the ferry spinning doughnuts and honking its horn in the middle of the river.
