Coleen and Wayne Rooney clap for carers with their four sons 

Coleen and Wayne Rooney took part in a nationwide applause in honour of the NHS, police and key workers during the coronavirus pandemic on Thursday night.  

The couple, both aged 34, got together with their sons Kai, ten, Klay, six, Kit, four, and Cass, two, on their doorstep as they joined  millions across the nation at 8pm to applaud the heroes across the country.

The family-of-six decided to wear matching pyjamas for the event with blue patterned bottoms and rainbow charity NHS T-shirts.

The Clap For Carers campaign, which started online, has been staged because ‘during these unprecedented times they need to know we are grateful’, the organisers said.

For the fifth week in a row, NHS workers have been the recipients of the cheers and claps from the nation. 

Earlier this month the event, organised by the Clap For Our Carers campaign, was expanded to include all key workers, such as supermarket staff, the emergency services and teachers who are continuing to work.
