For the celebrations, the care home was decked out in red, white and blue, with balloons, bunting and a life-sized cut out of the Queen on display.
Staff at the care home are keen to put on events during special occasions for residents, alongside regular daily activities, as it helps stimulate their minds, bodies and souls.
Care home manager Wendy Mead previously told the Oxford Mail: “We run events as there are some people who are quite isolated but will come out and join in with other people. That can lead to them coming out more and making friends.
“It is a great way to get people who are quite introverted to socialise more.”
