“It just went absolutely mental. Everyone stuck to the social distancing and there was no partying in the street but the atmosphere was something I've never seen before.”
Teacher Chris said the cops' attitude was “fantastic” after they asked how everyone was and enquired about how long the party was going to last.
He organised the event to give residents including families something to enjoy during the coronavirus lockdown.
Chris said he was inspired by the Clap For The Carers which takes place every Thursday at 8pm where people up and down Britain come out of their homes and show their appreciation for frontline NHS workers.
