Meanwhile, Kington Court enjoyed a terrific performance by musician Vaughan Davies, who serenaded the home with tunes on his trumpet. Guests also participated in a lively 'Red Quiz,' testing their knowledge and adding to the excitement. Their 'Red Raffle' also proved to be a success, with 13 prizes bringing smiles to the faces of lucky winners. Nursing staff member Maisie was crowned best-dressed.
