Our Coronation Celebrations!

Our residents celebrated the coronation with a day full of activities and events. The staff organized a fun-filled day for the residents to commemorate the historic event, and it was a huge success. On Saturday we watched a live broadcast of the coronation ceremony on the big screen TVs in the lounges. Muriel told us “I think Princess Charlotte in her white dress and the Princess of Wales looked absolutely beautiful.” Colin said that he had watched the coronation of the late Queen on a tiny TV set when he was younger so watching King Charles’ coronation on a huge TV was “massively different”.

On Sunday the highlight of the day was the coronation tea party, where the residents enjoyed a selection of sandwiches and cakes. The staff had decorated the dining room with red, white, and blue bunting, and everyone was dressed up in their finest attire.

All our volunteers, staff and trustees were invited and they were joined by relatives and family of our residents for music by the Sunshine Panners and our favourite singer Ruth Boyd.

Overall, the coronation celebration was a memorable and enjoyable day for everyone involved, and it was a great opportunity for the residents to come together and celebrate a historic moment in British history.
