Photographer Hayley Gell, of Hayley Gell Photography, was out on her daily dog walk on Burnaby Street, Hillsborough when the second ‘clap for the NHS’ sounded across the city at 8pm yesterday (Thursday, April 2).
She couldn’t resist snapping the hopeful faces of her neighbours as they took to their doorsteps to thank NHS workers for their bravery during the coronavirus crisis.
