Boroughbridge care home turned into Graceland for Elvis-themed day
To honour what would have been the king of rock and roll's 86th birthday on Saturday, staff and residents at Boroughbridge Manor enjoyed a day of music, fun and dancing.
Residents at Boroughbridge Manor care home were all shook up this weekend when their home was turned into Graceland for an Elvis-themed day.
To honour what would have been the king of rock and roll's 86th birthday on Saturday, staff and residents enjoyed a day of music, fun and dancing.
Residents found out some interesting facts about Elvis that they hadn't heard before, watched a short biography about the singer and listened to some of Elvis’ hits.
Nancy, a resident, said:
"I loved Elvis growing up. Listening to all his old hits has brought back so many memories. We’ve all had a brilliant time reminiscing about our dance hall days!"
General manager Neil Todd said:
"Lots of our residents are big Elvis fans and love his music. We’ve had a fantastic day listening to all his hits, finding out about his early life and what influenced him and watching old Elvis movies, he was such an incredible talent.
"This afternoon we had an Elvis quiz, it is amazing how many songs he recorded. We all surprised ourselves by how many we remembered!"
