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.”

“It was a fun afternoon and Bailey took time to speak to all of us afterwards.”

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.”
