PARKFIELD House in Charville Lane West, Hillingdon, opened its doors to the public on Saturday to mark National Care Home Open Day.

This year, it coincided with the Queen’s birthday, so staff pulled out all the stops.

The Mayor of Hillingdon, Cllr Carol Melvin, opened the refurbished lounge and was given a tour by manager Wendy Bristow.

Live music, tap dancing and a buffet rounded off proceedings.
