We have been celebrating the life of Queen Elizabeth in the form of shared memories! Our residents have been reminiscing and taking the time to share their thoughts in our Memory Book. We all appreciated her dedication to the Country and to her subjects. Our residents are so very proud of her. We have received a beautiful Bouquet and vase from the ‘Bramble Bees’ Florist in Solihull, which we appreciate so much! They go amazing on our display. We would like to thank Cirian-Marie Beddoes, Florist, for this kind donation.

We have been remembering Queen Elizabeth in the home. We set up a lovely display for the residents to have a space to reminisce about her. The residents have been filling in a scrapbook with pictures and passages of how they will remember the Queen and stories of meeting her.

Riversway in Bristol

Yesterday at Riversway we paid our respects to our Beautiful Queen!

The residents watch the funeral on both floors, we helped to comfort the resident who were feeling sad.

We had tea and scones, printed out lots of pictures and history of Queen Elizabeth II and a booklet for the residents to keep with photos of her life and family tree.

We also printed our book of condolence so the residents could write a message.

We all thought the service was beautiful.

In the afternoon following the Queen’s funeral, we arranged for a small group to have tea and cakes in the activity room so that they have a chance to reminisce on the Queen’s life. We looked at lots of different pictures and read lots of history about Queen Elizabeth II. It also gave us a chance to sign our book of condolence. It was a lovely afternoon together, considering the circumstance.

We had a lovely trip out to Bourton-on-the-Water, a lovely village in the rural Cotswolds area. We just love how beautiful the village is, with its wonderful low bridges and traditional stone houses.

Whilst at the doctor’s, one of our lovely residents found the time to write in a condolence book for The Queen. It’s so nice to be able to share our memories and thoughts with everyone.
