Staff and residents at the award-winning Angela Court Nursing Home joined the rest of the country celebrating the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton by holding their own street style party.
The residents gathered in the large living area just before the wedding proceedings began and were given a cup of tea to toast the happy couple along with home-made cakes.
Wearing patriotic bowler hats and waving the English flag the residents and their family members watched in anticipation as Catherine Middleton walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey to meet her future husband.
As the happy couple exchanged their vows and Prince William put the ring on his beautiful wife’s finger the excited residents toasted the newly weds with more tea and scones with clotted cream and jam.
After the ceremony and the famous balcony kisses everyone was treated to a very British menu of home made fish and chips followed by an apricot desert.
Throughout the afternoon visitors from St John’s of Tipton church arrived at the 37-bed home and enjoyed afternoon tea.
Angela Court manager, Bob Allan, told us: “Everyone thoroughly enjoyed watching the Royal wedding especially our residents.
“Many of them have witnessed different generations of the Royal family getting married including the Queen so it was nice for them to see how different they were.
“Everyone was commenting on how beautiful Catherine Middleton looked in her stunning wedding dress. There were even a few tears of happiness.
“The party didn’t stop after the ceremony instead the celebrations continued into the early evening where residents enjoyed a street style party tea with a selection of sandwiches, cakes and jellies.
“It was just so nice to be part of such an historic event.”
