Residents at a Winchester care home have paid tribute to those who served in wars past and present.

Flowerdown Care Home in Winchester commemorated Remembrance Sunday, on November 9, with a two-minute silence at 11am.

Residents wore poppies, watched the televised Cenotaph service, and took part in activities including poppy displays, wartime songs, war poems, and creating poppy window art.

Some residents also visited Eastleigh Memorial to pay their respects.

Judy, a resident at Flowerdown, said: "It is very important that we keep the memories of those who fought alive and that we also think about those involved in conflicts around the world today."

Claudia Nunes, general manager at Flowerdown, said: "We have many residents with personal ties to the military and many who have experienced conflict either at home or abroad so it was important to us to mark Remembrance Day and honour the contribution of everyone involved."
