DESPITE the challenge of COVID restrictions, Botwell House Primary School choir in Hayes were determined to continue with one of their seasonal traditions.

The school has long entertained residents of Aston House nursing home in Angel Lane, Hayes End, with Christmas carols.

This year, though, the children delivered their performance via a video link.

Staff at the nursing home sent an email and video thanking the choir for the effort they had made to lift the spirits of residents, who enjoyed singing along.
