England Rugby says 'thank you' to NHS
Ahead of Thursday's appreciation for the NHS, the Twickenham Stadium pitch has had a makeover.
With people up and down the country clapping their support for NHS workers, Twickenham Stadium’s turf has been marked with a message of appreciation for those on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic.
“There are no crowds at the Home of England Rugby right now but the sound of a nation applauding the NHS workers is as loud as any rugby crowd," said the Rugby Football Union’s Chief Executive, Bill Sweeney:
"We wanted to add our heartfelt thanks on behalf of the rugby community and pay tribute to all of our NHS heroes.
“I would also like to thank Amayse for coming into the stadium to create the message.”
