A giant rainbow banner has appeared at Southport’s busiest roundabout, as a way of saying thank you to our amazing NHS workers.

The 6ft-high rainbow banner, flanked by love hearts, is situated near to another banner proclaiming ‘Love The NHS’.

The signs are situated on fences along the B&Q superstore on New Foul Lane, by Kew roundabout, not far away from Southport & Formby District General Hospital.

She wrote: “As an NHS key worker I cannot say how much I really appreciated seeing this at B&Q Meols Cop this morning!”

Pictures of rainbows have started springing up in windows and outside buildings across Southport after schools closed in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Hundreds of schools are encouraging pupils to put up paintings to “spread hope” after a trend started online.

Other people have also enjoyed seeing the new signs.

Sue Doonan wrote: “I noticed that on my drive to work to Ormskirk Hospital. Thank you for your support!”

Catherine Mondou wrote: “NHS you are doing a fantastic job, we are so grateful, many thanks.”

Karen Courtney said: “Thank you to all the wonderful NHS and everyone working that are doing all the essential jobs to keep us at home and safe and a big shout out to all the amazing volunteers.”
