Nikki Culleton, general manager at Marriott House and Lodge said: “We’ve all had such a brilliant time celebrating the Coronation, such a momentous occasion.

"Our staff and residents love the royals and so they were all so excited to take part. It has been a real collaborative process – thinking about how we wanted to celebrate, planning our activities, decorating the home and creating all the party food.

"It was so lovely to be able to invite our friends and family to come and join us for a proper celebration too.”

"We all wanted to pay our respects to the new King and create new memories, it is such an important occasion to mark.”
