From refuse workers to our NHS staff, teachers, supermarket workers, public transport workers, emergency services, construction workers, and the countless volunteers who stepped up during lockdown - thank you.
We asked our readers to nominate people who they wanted to show some gratitude for so we can celebrate them. Here's a photo gallery of some of the people who make us proud of Hastings.
