The successful truck run was organised by Craig Booth, a driver at Clitheroe firm Dugdale Nutrition. And it proved a massive hit with self-isolating spectators who clapped and cheered yesterday evening (Thursday) as the procession passed their homes.

The route began directly across from Dugdale Nutrition at Clitheroe Auction Mart, passing through towns and villages and ending at Clitheroe Community Hospital in time for the 8pm clap for the NHS. Key workers themselves, the truck drivers followed strict guidelines and did not leave the cab of their vehicle once they arrived at the hospital."
