Residents at The Manor House care home in Knaresborough have celebrated Pride Month with a drag queen belting out hits in their garden.
Miss Bailey Bubbles entertained the residents with showtunes, songs made famous by Doris Day and a few Abba hits.
Carer Alison Morgan said:
“After a long year of covid restrictions at the home it was lovely to share laughter with the residents with our first live entertainment in the garden since last year.”
Residents June Sharp and Kath Topping agreed. They said:
“It was very different to anything we’ve seen before but we loved it.
“It was a fun afternoon and Bailey took time to speak to all of us afterwards.”
The residents also enjoyed rainbow-inspired art therapy sessions, quizzes and games of bingo. They also helped dress the home and garden with bright, rainbow-themed decorations.
Katie Victoria Pickering, who organised the activities, said:
“The residents embraced the day and everything it stands for, they were happy to be involved in the lead-up and event itself.”
