Horton Cross residents, families and friends were treated to a "heart warming" day of VE Day Celebrations filled with nostalgia and community spirit.

Staff dressed in wartime-era outfits, and a display of memorabilia inspired many to share touching stories and personal recollections from the era.
The Home joined the nation in observing the two-minute silence and watching the service at Westminster Abbey, honouring the sacrifices and resilience of that generation.

In the spirit of the day, residents and the activites team worked together to plan an indoor street party. The menu was a special highlight - featuring wartime favourourites such as Spam fritters, corned beef hash, potted fish and meat sandwiches, along with traditional treats such as jelly with condensed milk and, of course, jam tarts. The kitchen staff did their best to recreate the flavours of the time, and the food was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
"It was a day filled with laughter, reflection, and community - a truly fitting tribute to VE Day."
