Crowborough care home invites local community to honour D-Day
A Crowborough care home is opening its doors to the community for a 1940s-themed celebration and commemorative ceremony.
On Saturday 1st June, from 2pm, Care UK’s Heather View on Beacon Road is welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of D-Day with its very own wartime era-themed community celebration.
The team has been hard at work organising a unique commemorative event that will see residents and guests enjoying a lively day full of music, memories and traditional food from the wartime era.
An exclusive performance by 1940s-style singer Retro Rosie is set to delight attendees, who are being encouraged to dress in their finest period clothes and share their memories from decades gone by. A fascinating display of military memorabilia and a military vehicle will also be on site throughout the afternoon.
Later in the week, on Thursday 6th June, a special lamp lighting ceremony will be held at the home. The lamp, which represents the peace which followed the end of World War Two, will be lit at 9pm by local army veteran Jon O’Keeffe, who was in the Royal Signals division of the British Army for over 18 years.
