VE Day 8th anniversary.
On the 6th and 8th of May we marked the historic 80th anniversary of VE Day with our residents and staff. We celebrated 80 years of peace since the end of World War II in Europe that so many paid the ultimate sacrifice to achieve the peace we are able to now have in Britain. Many of our residents were young children during the war and are able to share the story of their difficulties that they had during the war and the peace that came with the end of the war.
The wondeful Katriona and Grant joined us on Tuesday the 6th for a Great British sing along.
The residents had a great time singing their much loved war songs.
