Marks & Spencer will be giving out free Easter eggs to all NHS healthcare workers on Good Friday as a thank you for their hard work.
The retailer said all frontline workers with NHS IDs will be able to pop into their local branch to pick up a Percy Pig Easter egg throughout the day.
Marks & Spencer first started the campaign on Tuesday during its priority shopping hour, when it offered NHS workers a chocolate treat at the checkout.
However, instead of running for just one hour on Good Friday, the freebie will be on offer from opening to close at around 5pm.
"Our M&S family wants to do our bit to support our NHS workers and their families to celebrate Easter during this difficult time and to help brighten up their day," the grocer told Mirror Money.
"Ahead of the Easter weekend, we will be giving all NHS emergency services, and health and social care workers a free M&S Percy Pig Easter Egg throughout the whole day on Friday in our 560 owned Food stores.
"We’re giving away one free Easter Egg to every customer with an NHS, Blue Light Card or Care Quality Commission ID."
Dozens of businesses across the UK have come together to praise the NHS over the past fortnight, with Holland & Barrett even offering a staff discount to all workers in frontline healthcare.
Supermarkets have also introduced priority hours for key workers - to ensure they have access to vital supplies such as bread, milk and toiletries.
Today, EE has pledged to give unlimited data to NHS workers as they battle to save thousands of lives amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Wilko, meanwhile, will be donating 160,000 Easter eggs and bumper batches of non-essential food items to key workers, NHS staff, YMCA centres, Age UK and schools over the next few days.
Across the UK, people are being invited to 'clap for the NHS' at 8pm on Thursday night, honouring the staff who are working all hours to save lives around the country.
It comes as 887 more people have died of coronavirus in the past 24 hours, taking the UK death toll to around 8,000.
Postal workers, charity staff, bus drivers and supermarket drivers will also get a round of applause for their help in keeping the nation running.
