Staff and residents at Old Vicarage Care Home, on Newcastle Avenue, came together earlier this month for a big party to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.
The grounds were filled with balloons in the colours of the Union Jack as residents enjoyed music and a selection of delicious food.
Lian Talbot, activities coordinator, said: “All our residents enjoyed the day with a glass of Pimms, great singing, lovely company, and great food.
“It was a joy to see them having a great time singing and have fun.”
