It was party time for residents of two old folks' homes in Exeter.
Pensioners living at Bodley House, Heavitree joined those living at Whipton Barton House, both off Vaughan Road, to mark the impending closure of the county council homes.
While the Echo was barred from attending, those who joined in the fun described the party as a great success.
Friends and family gathered together with the residents for tea, cakes and a sing-a-long with Maz and Dave.
Among those joining in the fun was Alice McDonald, 85, formerly of Salters Road, Wonford, who has been living at Whipton Barton House for the past two years.
Speaking outside the home, Mrs McDonald said the party was a great success.
Her daughter, Marion Mellon, who had travelled from Sheffild for the event said: "Mum is being moved to a home in Heavitree. She is a bit upset at moving but we have nothing but praise for the staff at Whipton Barton House who have been wonderful. If she receives the same quality of care at the new home we will be more than happy."
