Staff at Laurel Lodge care home in Norwich have held a special date night to help two residents celebrate their 66th wedding anniversary.
Phyllis has been at the lodge since June and Derek recently made the move to be closer to his wife after months of socially distanced meetings.
Once Derek had arrived at the home the couple were given an invitation to their date, which took place last Friday (23 October).
In a team effort, manager Danielle became a chef for the night to cook their meal, two carers came in on their day off to help out as waitresses and the deputy manager and another carer played piano and guitar to provide an atmosphere.
