A CARE home is inviting the whole community to join in with its golden jubilee celebrations.

Staff and residents of Northview Lodge Care Home, in Castletown, Sunderland, have organised a garden party complete with tombola, refreshments and stalls to mark the Queen's Golden Jubilee.

The garden will be decorated in British style with red, white and blue bunting. The community are invited to attend. Northview Lodge manager Lyn Bell said the party, on Monday, at 2pm, should be an event to remember.

"As Northview Care Home is an integral part of the community, we are looking forward to welcoming family, friends and neighbours to our jubilee event," she said.
