For many of the elderly residents, this was a unique experience having also witnessed the Queen’s Coronation in 1953, making the celebrations of the weekend poignant and emotive for many residents.

Kay, aged 87, resident at Rosepark Care Home, said: “The Coronation celebrations this weekend were so much fun. 

“In addition to settling down to watch the Coronation on the television, we were invited to get into the spirit of the celebrations with a King Charles themed party, a delicious afternoon tea and themed games.

“It is an honour to witness not just one, but two, royal coronations and I am so pleased we were able to mark it in style at Rosepark Care Home.”
