The guest list also included the Friends of Sussexdown Committee which supports activities, entertainment, and outings for the residents.

Lynne Hudson, Home Manager at Sussexdown, said: “I am so pleased that everyone had a wonderful weekend celebrating The King’s Coronation at Sussexdown. It was such a special day, and I want to thank all staff members at the home who helped with the celebrations and who made this possible. There was such a buzz during the day of the celebrations, and it certainly was a spectacular weekend enjoyed by residents and their loved ones.”

Simon Bird, CEO of Care South, added: “Much like the recent Platinum Jubilee, this hugely significant occasion gave us all a chance to celebrate as a community. The Food, Fun, and Friendship shared across our homes over the weekend will stay in the memories of everyone involved for a very long time. Special moments happen daily in a care home, but events like this, especially when family and friends are involved, are extraordinary.”
