A care home has honoured veterans at a special community event.
Hickathrift House Care Home held the gathering on March 3, welcoming residents, members of the public, and guests from the Royal British Legion (RBL), including Chairman of the Wisbech Royal British Legion Toby North and Vice Chairman Andrew Sharp.
Mr North spoke about the history of the RBL and its work supporting veterans.
He also presented two veterans living at Hickathrift House with poppy insignias to recognise their service.
Also in attendance were members of the Emneth over-60s club and police officers PC Cage and Sergeant Green.
Paula Melerski, general manager at Hickathrift House, said: "We are only too happy to welcome ex-servicemen and women and their families from our local community to Hickathrift House Care Home in order to support them.
"We’re delighted our event was a huge success and we’re incredibly grateful to Toby and the British Legion."
Hickathrift House is part of Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers.
