The Croft Care Home, which is situated on Chestnut Lane within the town, saw several of its residents plant items into the ground for them to be dug up in several decades' time.

Louise Foyle-York, Manager at The Croft, said: “I am extremely proud of my team who really went above and beyond to organise this special event– and to enable the people we support to talk openly about their feelings.
"It was very emotional looking back over the past two years, there were some tears of sadness and joy and we all thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.”
