Our Residents and Relatives came together yesterday to honour one of the nation’s most meaningful occasions — Remembrance Day.
In last week’s arts and crafts sessions, everyone joined in making poppies and creating beautiful artwork, which we proudly decorated in all our lounges and pantry.
We were truly honoured to be asked by The Royal British Legion to lay a poppy wreath on Remembrance Sunday. The procession, led by the Potters Bar Band, included Cadets, Scouts, Girl Guides, and members of our wonderful community.🌹
On Sunday, residents gathered to watch BBC One’s “Remembrance Day: The Cenotaph and a special Remembrance Sunday episode of Songs of Praise”, joining together for the minute’s silence. Every resident who wished to take part was supported to do so. Then on Tuesday, each resident received a poppy, and we came together once again to observe the two-minute silence at 11am.
The day ended on a lovely note with a wonderful performance by Jessica, who brought the home to life with classic wartime melodies from the 1950s and 60s. Residents then enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea, sharing stories and reflections together. It was a heartfelt and memorable week — one that left everyone feeling proud to have paid their tribute to the fallen.
