Colourful messages of thanks have been create around the hospital to thank NHS heroes.
As well as thank you messages there are also two rainbow zebra crossings, replacing the traditional markings outside the Garrett Anderson building.
The special designs have been created by Highway Assurance, an Ipswich-based traffic management and civil engineering company as well as GB Roadart, an Ipswich-based lining company.
Both companies’ staff have been classed as key workers and have been busy maintaining the road networks across Suffolk.

“It was really nice, at about 7.45pm people were starting to gather around the grounds, and then about 19:55 lots of ambulances, police and fire engines turned up and parked all around the roads inside the grounds,” said Andrew Perkins, contracts manager at Highway Assurance.
“Then just before 8pm all of the staff came out and the clap commenced for around five minutes, really lovely.”
