A Hereford care home recently had the honour of hosting an important guest, for a day filled with excitement.

Hampton Grange and Gwen Walford Care Homes in Hereford recently welcomed mayor Kevin Tillett, who was accompanied by his husband, Bob, and their two beloved dogs, Skye the collie and Bryn the lurcher.

During his visit the mayor spent time with staff and residents, whilst the afternoon was made even more delightful with a scrumptious afternoon tea, featuring a delicious homemade cake crafted by the home’s chef.

Nicky, the lifestyle coordinator for the home, was even granted a kind invitation by the mayor for a guided tour of the Town Hall. Nicky also had the opportunity to try on one of the mayoral chains, in a particularly honourable moment.
