Hall Park Care Home residents honour The Fallen on Remembrance Day

As well as marking Remembrance Day by wearing poppies and watching the televised service from The Cenotaph, residents took part in therapeutic activities such as making poppy displays, listening to old wartime songs, reading war poems and creating poppy window art. Also they had entertainer Johnny Jalland, who sang patriotic songs which residents loved to sing along to.

Pauline Bosworth, a resident at Hall Park, said: “It is very important that we keep the memories of those who fought alive, and that we also think about those involved in conflicts around the world today.”

Jodie Rakhra, General Manager at Hall Park care home, said: “We have many residents with personal ties to the military and many who have experienced conflict either at home or abroad so it was important to us to mark Remembrance Day and honour the contribution of everyone involved in the World Wars and in subsequent conflicts.
