MYSTERY surrounded a sign carrying a heart-warming message that was put up outside Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton.
Hard-working staff coming and going to the hospital as the country tackles with the coronavirus outbreak have been welcomed to a lovely message.
The sign, at the mini roundabout near to the Taunton-based hospital, says 'to all the NHS frontline staff, thank you for all you are doing'.

People have taken to social media to ask about the sign, and it turns out it was designed and paid for by staff from The Castle School in Taunton.
Paid for by Claire Dungate, and designed by Sharon Fry, the sign perfectly describes how all Taunton residents are feeling towards the vital hospital staff.

Ms Fry said: "Claire Dungate paid for it and I designed it. We then went with my daughter and hunt it up outside A&E.
"It was lovely because staff and visitors were beeping horns, shouting thanks, and it put a smile on a lot of faces.
"It will hopefully stay there for some time, and if it makes them smile and reminds them what an amazing job they are doing, then that is what we intended."
A huge thank you to the wonderful people who put this banner up outside our hospital yesterday. We are so proud of every member of staff working across Musgrove Park, @SomParNHS and @YeovilHospital to keep Somerset safe. #SomersetProud #SomersetTogether pic.twitter.com/yq3scsuhJb
