IT was all dragons and roses at Wilton Place Care Home in Wilton as residents and staff celebrated St George’s Day yesterday (April 28).

The home was a sea of red and white as staff decorated it to create a nostalgic English street party feel, and residents gathered in the bistro to enjoy a typical English tea party.

The Woodford Ukulele Group entertained residents with their usual talent and energy with upbeat, well-known favourites that everyone could sing along to.

The group members entered into the spirit of the occasion as they arrived dressed in red and white with one chap in full St George regalia.

The activities coordinator, Fiona Long, said: “We celebrated in style and the atmosphere was great, it was a joy to see the residents engaging and enjoying each other’s company, some even having a go with the band’s musical instruments.”
