A COMMUNITY of care home residents enjoyed a “royal knees up” to celebrate the coronation of The King and The Queen Consort.
The regal street parties hosted by not-for-profit care home provider Sanctuary Care saw the residents enjoy live music and entertainment, whilst toasting the crown over a glass of bubbles and a banquet of British classics – from coronation chicken sandwiches to Eton Mess, Pimm’s,and coronation quiche.
To get into the party spirit, the residents got crafty, creating hand-made Union Jack flags and decorating with banners and bunting.
Helen Park, activities co-ordinator at Sanctuary Care, said: “We had great fun planning the Coronation parties and it was fantastic to see the smiles on everyone’s faces when we came together to celebrate such a joyous occasion.
“We are always looking for new ways to enrich our residents’ lives. Celebrating a milestone moment, such as the Coronation, is the perfect opportunity to create a sense of continuity and belonging for our residents, which we know is so important to feeling happy and fulfilled as we grow older.”
