Residents enjoyed a lovely Coronation Buffet over the weekend and here's are two of our residents cutting the Coronation cake, on the left Sylvia and on the right Joyce Willan. Joyce will be 102 years old in the autumn.
For Joyce this is her sixth monarch; when she was born the monarch was King Edward 7th and Queen Alexander, Edward died in 1930. In 1930 George 5th became King and Mary was his Queen. In 1937 the Duke of York became king George 6th, at this time the late Queen Elizabeth was 7years old.. King Geroge was king for 15 years, and his Queen consort was the Queen mother. King George passed away on 6th February 1952, whilst the young Princess Elizabeth was on holiday in Africa at Tree tops. Princess Elizabeth returned to England as Queen Elizabeth 11. Prince Charles became King after the death of our beloved late Queen Elizabeth 11 in 2022.
Joyce sat throughout the Coronation day, fixed avidly to the Coronation procession, talking about the other Coronations she has watched and who had been involved.
