Every Thursday night at 8pm for the past nine weeks millions of people have stood outside their doors and by windows to clap for our carers.
People have taken to the streets across the country to clap, hit pans and even let off fireworks to show their appreciation for those fighting coronavirus on the front line.
The #ClapForOurCarers idea even has its own website.
In Liverpool people have gathered outside hospitals, with staff and public clapping for the efforts being made to save the lives of those suffering with Covid-19.
But now the creator of the initiative Annemarie Plas, originally from The Netherlands, says next Thursday's clap, the tenth clap, should be the last.
The 36-year-old, from South London, told the PA news agency: "I think it's good to have the last of the series next Thursday, because to have the most impact I think it is good to stop it at its peak.
"Without getting too political, I share some of the opinions that some people have about it becoming politicised.
"I think the narrative is starting to change and I don't want the clap to be negative.
"A clap is something normal people can do, showing our appreciation.
"But the power is not with us. We can give them respect but we are not signing the cheque - that falls on another desk."
Ms Plas suggested resurrecting the clap in 2021 to mark a year since the coronavirus outbreak.
