Remember, remember the fifth of November: East Hoathly care home residents mark Bonfire Night
Staff and residents at Lydfords Care Home in East Hoathly celebrated Bonfire Night with a bang last weekend when they wrapped up warm to gather at the bottom of the drive to watch the fantastic procession and firework display put on by the East Hoathly Bonfire Society.
Bonfire Night commemorates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot when 14 individuals tried to blow up the House of Lords during the state opening of Parliament on November 5th 1605.
The residents were invited by members of the bonfire society to come along to the village hall before the procession and the judge the best costume competition.
Shirley, a resident at Lydfords said: “I have always loved Bonfire Night, it’s so lovely to celebrate these traditions all together. The fireworks bring back so many memories of Bonfire Nights through the years, these times are so special.”
Anthony Butler, General Manager at Lydfords, said: “We had a fantastic time watching the procession, our residents love to keep these traditions and reminisce about years gone by. We had a great time seeing all the fantastic costumes people wore and the residents being able to pick the winner was very special for them.
