Millions were led by Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte in showing appreciation for NHS staff. The service's official Twitter page posted 'that was emotional' with a blue heart.

The post came after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a video on Instagram of their children laughing and clapping together in the garden.
