As part of our celebration for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, we invited a local ice cream vendor to visit our home and let our residents enjoy the ice cream he sells. All the staff and residents enjoyed this kind treat.

Platinum Punch and Royal Spritz were available from our Jubilee Cocktail Bar alongside a lovely Royal Quiz. Some residents were very competitive whilst others just soaked up the atmosphere, as there was something for everyone. Cupcakes added to a scrumptious surprise! We've definitely celebrated the Platinum Jubilee in style.

The manager of Hope Green spent time alongside residents over the Jubilee holidays and helped to create a beautiful Tree of Celebration. Throughout the year we visit this special tree at the entrance to our lovely home and decorate it to reflect special moments together, so it was important to us to meet for the Platinum Jubilee. Ribbons of red white and blue, and pine cones painted by our craft club adorned the branches with pictures and other recycled decorations.

Our jubilee celebrations were off to a cracking start, we watched the trooping of the guard and had a real laugh making crowns. We spent the day reminiscing and remembering celebrations over the years.

The Jubilee Photo Booth at our very own London Telephone Box brought lots of flag waving and smiles as we gathered to celebrate the life of our Queen. Wearing of crowns was optional of course but many of our residents liked the idea and enjoyed making their own, adding their personal creative touches. What a celebration we've had at Hope Green.

Relatives were invited to share the day with the residents as we planted our Jubilee tree and we provided live entertainment along with a lovely buffet. We had games and painting and we gave everyone a plant that they took home with them to plant in their garden.

We made a tree that included photo's of the residents dressed up as Kings and Queens to make the Kings and Queens of Westbourne tree.

We were delighted to welcome our local MP Fleur Anderson to unveil the official plaque for our beautiful bottlebrush tree, planted to mark Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee.

Like many people across the UK, we wanted to join in and enhance our own garden environment by planting a tree to celebrate the jubilee, which we hope will be enjoyed by all for many years to come.

We were busy getting ready for the Platinum Jubilee. Our entry is decorated in tribute to the queen and her notable life. From facts about the commonwealth, to hobbies and baby photos we were excited for the celebration to begin.

Owen enjoyed playing bingo and he won the most games! Mona and Dorothy also loved playing dominoes.

This year Nurse’s Day happened to fall during National Donut week so our residents had a wonderful time decorating donuts for our wonderful nurses. Not only was it fun but they were definitely as tasty as they looked!
