Yesterday Hugo turned 6, but he couldn’t celebrate his birthday with his parents. Mum & Dad are medical staff at the Gregorio Marañón Hospital in Madrid, frontline battlefield of the Coronavirus outbreak.

But in any case he will probably never forget this day…. Spanish National Police drove in front of his house in seven cars, blowing their sirens to congratulate him!!

Someone knew that Hugo wishes to become a Policeman one day, so Police Officers María Jesús and Miguel Angel sent him a very special Happy Birthday surprise! May your wish come true Hugo!

Gracias @Policia (Spanish flag) Vosotros sois tambien #HeroesSinCapa. You make us #UnitedInDistance
