On Thursday night the queen joined the UK once more in thanking healthcare workers who are on the front-line in the battle against the coronavirus.
Windsor Castle, where the queen is currently staying amid lockdown with Prince Philip, lit up in blue.
"The Round Tower at Windsor Castle turned blue tonight, as we joined the nation to mark our appreciation for all of the UK's key workers," the caption with an image read on Twitter. Thursday evening was also the second round of "#clapforourcarers", so everyone in the UK stepped out at 20:00 to pause for applause for the National Health Service.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also made surprise phone calls to two hospitals in the UK to thank staff for all the work they're putting in during this very difficult time.
They shared a clip on their Instagram in which William says, "We'd just like to say from the two of us how proud we are of all of you and how amazing you are all doing under extreme circumstances.
"I know all of you see this as your job and that you get on with it, but this is a different level, and you are doing an incredible job.
"The whole country is proud of you – not just us – so thank you for everything you're doing and all the hours you guys are putting in."
