"Our staff and residents love the Royals and so they were all so excited to take part.

"It has been a real collaborative process - thinking about how we wanted to celebrate, planning our activities, decorating the home and creating all the party food. It was so lovely to be able to invite our friends and family to come and join us for a proper celebration too.”

Molly, a resident at Kingsland House care home, said: “I can just about remember the Queen’s Coronation, I was very small but I remember the street party we had then and this was just as much fun.

"We all wanted to pay our respects to the new King and create new memories, it is such an important occasion to mark.”
