A Worcester care home marked its 10th anniversary by having special furry guests pay residents a visit.

Latimer Court, that was opened in February 2013, welcomed the Cotswold Vale Alpaca Experience to the home.

Residents were able to pet the friendly mammals - and those who couldn't make it downstairs were also treated to a visit in their bedrooms.

Donna Tustin, general manager at Latimer Court, said that the residents, team and some family members "celebrated in style".

She said: "Donna tells us how they marked this special occasion.

"We celebrated our 10th anniversary in style, we had a lovely visit from Cotswold Vale Alpaca Experience who were amazing, the Alpaca's even visited some residents in their own bedrooms so that no one missed out.

"The residents really enjoyed seeing them and can’t wait to see them again, thank you so much.

"This was followed by live entertainment in the afternoon with a good old song-a-long with a slice of delicious cake to end the day.

"What a perfect end to a brilliant day."

The care home was opened in 2013 by Cecil Duckworth, chairman of Worcester Warriors and founder of the Duckworth Worcestershire Trust charity.
