Boughton Lodge is home for two very special residents who have witnessed four coronations in their lifetime!

Pat is a hundred and three years old and Elizabeth recently turned a hundred and one! George V was on the throne when they were born, they saw Edward V111 abdicate with George V1 taking the throne, in 1952 they saw Elizabeth 11 crowned and now they have witnessed Charles 11 crowned King!

Pat and Elizabeth are truly inspirational, and for this reason we decided to hold our very own Coronation Ceremony to celebrate these amazing individuals! It was important for us to let them know how respected and cherished they are! Pat and Elizabeth were crowned King and Queen of Boughton Lodge!

The entire weekend at Boughton Lodge has been a wonderful celebration. All our residents were so excited and enjoyed watching King Charles crowned on our big projector screen with a glass of wine!

A big party was arranged for the Sunday, with party games for the residents and staff, followed by Derby's very own King of Rock and Roll, the one and only Ryan Smith, who sang for us and kept us dancing all afternoon! It was a magical weekend, full of fun and laughter here at Boughton Lodge!
