On 9 July Donnington House Residential Care and Nursing Home celebrated its own platinum jubilee with a garden party for the residents and their families; staff and invited guests.
It was a delightful summers day. The party was held in the grounds of the Home. There were delicious cream teas; a tombola; raffle and craft stalls, together with fun games for the young at heart.
A letter of congratulations received from Princess Alexandra, who opened the Home 70 years ago, was read out and a certificate was presented to Tracy Kirtlan in recognition of her being a finalist in the West Sussex Carer of the year award.
The party was organised by the staff who were assisted by the Rotary Club of Chichester Harbour.
