Weymouth care homes Kingsley Court and Friary House celebrate the Corona琀on

Residents of Friary Care’s Kingsley Court and Friary House in Weymouth decorated the homes with all things royal for the Coronation. Residents' arts and crafts (with lots of crowns, carriages, and even Paddington Bear!), posters of King Charles, and various wall posters of famous spots of London adorned the homes ahead of an amazing indoor street party with music by Martin and The Choir.

Residents reminisced about the previous Coronation over a glass of champagne and a breakfast, after- noon tea with homemade cakes with family and friends, and fish and chips – all fit for a King. Homes owner Peter Fry said: “We had so much fun and laughter, we really have celebrated the Friary Care way. All that's left to say is: Long Live the King!” Come and join us and make your home in one of our care homes in Weymouth.
