Hemel care home residents honour Queen with memorial board for funeral

They came together to remember Her Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth II

Residents at The Lodge in Hemel Hempstead paid tribute to the Queen.

With help from staff, they made a memorial board and condolence book.

The memorial board featured a poem, illustrations of the Queen and Paddington bear, pictures of her throughout her reign and images of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Engagement lead at The Lodge Sarah Beck said: “As a home, we watched the funeral with sadness and respect. We had an afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches and cream and jam scones.”
