Fans of the royal family were ecstatic to see the little ones getting involved in the special moment, commenting their love for the post.

One person commented: "That is beautiful! Stay safe little ones!", while another added: "Thank you for showing your support!!"

This comes just a day after the children's grandfather Prince Charles revealed he has tested positive for the virus.

In the statement, Clarence House said that the Prince Of Wales only had mild symptoms and is now self-isolating in Scotland with his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

Prior to the special moment, Heart encouraged listeners to join in on the moment when we put our hands together and made some noise for doctors, nurses, carers, GPs, pharmacists and al the NHS staff who are fighting COVID-19 on the front line.

And people did not disappoint, with social media being flooded with footage of people stepping outside their doors for the emotional moment to say thank you.
