The weekly celebration of the NHS and other care workers organised in the Magdalens area of Ripon by Mayor Councillor Eamon Parkin, brought tears as well as cheers on Thursday evening.

Cllr Parkin, has transformed his pub The Magdalens - which is temporarily closed because of the coronavirus crisis - into a community hub and for the last five Thursdays, he has hosted the 8pm salute.

This week's 'thankyou' to key workers in the front line of care, brought tears to the eyes of residents in the streets neighbouring the pub, as the Mayor played 'You'll Never Walk Alone'  - the record that Captain Tom Moore has recorded with Michael Ball - who is one of his favourite artists.

Just two days after fundraising phenomenon Capt Tom was guest of honour via video link for the opening of the new regional Nightingale Hospital in Harrogate, his strong Yorkshire tones added to the poignancy of the evening.

Cllr Parkin, told The Stray Ferret:

"These Thursday evening celebrations are always emotional and I thought it was highly appropriate to play his song, in view of the incredible things he has done for the NHS."
