Pat’s wish came true and it was a super fun one! She wished to see the Elvis tribute as part of The King’s Voice show at the Clacton Princess Theatre. It was a brilliant evening, and she even got a photo with Elvis!

Sab, Ewa and Lucy were delighted to meet London cab driver and Chairman of the Taxi Charity For Military Veterans Colin Mills when he visited Edensor on 18 June to thank us for the wonderful wreath that our residents had created for the charity to take to Normandy for the D Day commemorations.

Colin told us he was really impressed by all he saw at Edensor and was quick to say how wonderful and welcoming the team were.

We have pledged to make a wreath for any future commemorative trips that the charity makes and have invited Don Turrell a WWII veteran who lives in Frinton, to visit us soon and make use of our beach wheelchair.

Continuing our project of granting wishes, Ivan asked to go to the pub and have a drink while watching football. On 6 June he had a pint in our local and enjoyed the England V New Zealand game, which England won 1-0.

Residents at Edensor Care Centre have been deeply honoured to play an important role in this year's D-Day commemorations in Normandy after creating a beautiful poppy wreath that was taken across the Channel by the Taxi Charity for Military Veterans.

The handcrafted wreath was specially requested by the charity to accompany a group of Second World War veterans on their commemorative visit marking the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. During the visit, the wreath was photographed being cast into the waters off Sword Beach as part of a moving act of remembrance. Later that day, it was laid at Ranville Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery by Normandy veteran Paul Terry, aged 100, following the D-Day memorial service.

The poignant moment when Paul cast the wreath into the sea was featured on the front page of the Daily Express on 6 June, bringing the residents' tribute to a national audience.

Residents and staff at Edensor Care Centre were moved to see images of the wreath being used during the commemorations.
