Grease was the word for residents at a Wisbech care home who dressed up as pink ladies and T birds for the Rose Fair.

The 15 residents of Lyncroft Care Home took to the streets as part of the waling paraders.

A home spokesman said many residents were local to the town and had enjoyed attending Rose Fair for many years.

Jan Davison, home manager at Lyncroft, said: “Residents were supported and cheered on by families, friends and neighbours who came to watch.

“People in the crowd were clapping as our residents went past which was quite an emotional moment”.

Both residents and staff took part in the parade, the home’s theme was the musical Grease, with everyone dressing up as either Pink Ladies or T-birds.

Some residents travelled on the minibus and others were in wheelchairs pushed by staff who gave up their personal time to support the cause.

Friends and family of residents and staff also joined in, including local teenager Tasha Willows.

Tasha’s grandmother was a resident at Lyncroft Care Home until April 2015. Tasha has continued to raise money for the resident’s Comfort Fund in her spare time.

Residents met the Mayor of Wisbech, councillor Garry Tibbs, who spent time asking questions about the home while chatting to some of the residents.

“Our home is still buzzing with the events. Although we didn’t win a fun time was had by all,” said Jan.
