Joan and Frank Celebrate 70 Years of Marriage
It is always a privilege to share the lives of our residents and we love having couples at The Wingfield. Today was one couples very special day, Joan and Frank Bray celebrated 70 Years of marriage. Married in Shropshire on 16th May 1953, the couple first met aged 10 and 11 when they had been evacuated from London during the war. This friendship led to love. Surrounded by family including their two sons Michael and Terry the activities team arranged for Joan and Frank's favourite singer Shannon Kitchen to perform. Shannon sang a wonderful selection of classic songs including "I can't help falling in love with you" and all the residents greatly enjoyed singing along. Our fabulous Senior Carer Anette danced along and got everyone involved. The celebrations continued with a cake and buffet made by The Wingfield's hospitality team as well as a stunning cake made by the couple's daughter in law. The residents were planning when they would have each cake!
Joan and Frank received their last congratulatory card from HM Queen Elizabeth and now for their 70th from HM King Charles and Queen Camilla. Congratulations Joan and Frank.

Residents were delighted to meet all the animals. Norman is incredible, donkeys have a natural calm temperament, and the therapy donkeys are specially selected and trained to go inside even meeting residents in their beds.
