Dame Vera Lynn Remembered

Ashmead Care Home paid its very own special tribute to Dame Vera Lynn who sadly passed away at the age of 103 recently. During the day the home was filled with the voices of special personal memories of VE day, along with the sounds of music and laughter as everyone remembered the lady who became a symbol of hope during the war for so many people.

Episodes of Dads Army and music from Dame Vera played in all of our lounges and dining rooms throughout the day and everyone living in the home enjoyed a traditional themed buffet to add to the celebrations.

Our activity team dressed up as land girls and under the command of our very own Squadron Leader - Home Manager Lumi, ensured that everyone in the home enjoyed the day with sing a long sessions and themed games.
