Christmas is full of traditional sparkle at The Royal Star & Garter Homes in Solihull.

For the disabled veterans who live in the Solihull Home, the festive fun started when the Christmas tree lights were turned on to the sweet sounds of Widney Junior School Choir.

As the big day approaches, staff and residents learn their parts for the Christmas Extravaganza, an unmissable tradition at the Home. This year, staff residents and volunteers gave a lively performance of a traditional Pantomime.

Christmas morning sees a visit from Father Christmas, who brings an individually selected gift for every resident. A traditional Christmas lunch is followed by visitors. A festive film and tea with the Christmas cake made by residents in October, round off a happy day…

Happy Christmas from The Royal Star & Garter Homes!
