Dozens of older people enjoyed a late Christmas party in Newmains while marking the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
SWELS (Seniors with Energetic Lifestyles), who meet twice weekly at the Newmains Community Trust (NCT) Centre in Newmains, decided they would turn their annual festive lunch into an early celebration for the jubilee marking 70 years after Covid caused its cancellation in December.
The mistletoe may have been replaced with bunting for Her Majesty’s milestone but traditional Christmas turkey dinner with all the trimmings was still served up.
