Lifestyle manager Helen Brace escorted the 91-year-old to the wedding and the reception at Vaughn's home in the village afterwards.

Helen said: “It was such a beautiful wedding and I could see how much it meant to Betty’s family to have her there - it was my pleasure and honour to be a part of the day."

Betty thoroughly enjoyed having photos taken and spending time with her family including her grandsons and niece, according to Helen.

The whole day was an absolute delight and clearly meant so much to Betty and her family, with the grandmother saying: “I’ve had a lovely time today."
