West Suffolk care home residents took a trip down memory lane with a visit to a war museum.

The residents of Care UK's Kentford Manor in Newmarket visited the Duxford Imperial War Museum to commemorate Remembrance Day.

The trip included a guided tour of the museum, where the residents could view war memorabilia and share their own Second World War experiences.

Among the visitors was 91-year-old Tony Harrington, who was evacuated to Devon at the age of six and later served as an aerial photographer with the RAF in Belfast.

Mr Harrington said: “A great moment for me was seeing the Avro Lancaster aircraft.
