A 76-year-old teddy bear took centre stage during a heart-warming picnic.
Ivy Court, a Care UK home on Ivy Road in Norwich, welcomed pupils from Henderson Green Primary School for a teddy bear-themed afternoon that brought generations together.
Children arrived with their favourite stuffed toys and joined residents for games, activities and a picnic.
The visit prompted residents to share childhood memories - including Maureen Smith, who brought along her 76-year-old childhood teddy.
Mrs Smith said: "It was a lovely picnic and the children were wonderful.
"I brought along my 76-year-old teddy bear, which I still remember receiving.
"He came with a beautiful blue satin bow.
"I told the children he isn’t too fond of schools - he came to school with me and was once singed after sitting too close to a fire."
Ovidiu Andreescu, home manager at Ivy Court, said intergenerational events have a “hugely positive impact” on wellbeing.
He said: "Maureen’s 76-year-old teddy was the real star of the show and sparked some fantastic conversations.
"We’d like to thank everyone at Henderson Green Primary School for coming by."
