Veterans Celebrate Coronation

More than 100 people basked in the sunshine at a street party at Broughton House Veteran Care Village to celebrate the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Our residents were joined by their relatives for the occasion, along with staff and volunteers.
Each guest received a picnic box which included specially-made Coronation cupcakes.
Singer George Porter performed hits from across the decades and guests were also entertained by magician Darren Brand.
As our pictures clearly show, everyone got into the spirit and had an enjoyable time!

Karen Miller, chief executive of Broughton House, said: “Our party in honour of the Coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla was a resounding success in bringing together residents and their families to celebrate such a momentous occasion.
“We truly hope all who attended had an excellent time with their loved ones and will look back on this day with the fondest of memories.
“For staff and residents’ families, this was the first time they were able to celebrate such an event, but many of our residents remembered the late Queen’s Coronation and got much joy reminiscing about this with one another.”
