A care home celebrated an important day in British history.
Rose Lodge in Wisbech marked the anniversary of Victory in Europe Day in style by throwing a 1940s afternoon tea party to remember.
The home was decorated in red, white, and blue, and residents and staff dressed up in their 1940s-inspired glad rags and enjoyed an afternoon of big band music and dancing.
In the morning residents enjoyed some entertainment from local performers KJ and the Catt who sang a medley of British classics including songs from Vera Lynn as well as the national anthem.
Everyone was wearing British-themed accessories as well as having flags to wave during the performance.
The care home catering team whipped up a delicious selection of freshly baked biscuits, sandwiches, cakes, and pastries for the occasion, all washed down with pots of tea and a celebratory glass of fizz to mark the occasion in their afternoon tea.
Megan Jones, general manager at Rose Lodge, said: “Many of our residents can remember the end of the war and we all know what it meant for our country so we wanted to celebrate the date and listen to our resident’s memories of the war and the experiences they lived through.”
