A Crewe care home is opening its doors to the community for a commemorative ceremony. 

On Thursday 6th June, from 6.30pm - 9.30pm, Care UK's Station House, on Victoria Avenue, is welcoming local people to honour the 80th anniversary of D-Day with its very own lamp lighting ceremony.  

To commemorate the Normandy Landings on 6th June 1944, Care UK is partnering with royal pageant master Bruno Peek, CVO OBE OPR, coordinator of 'D-Day 80 Lamp Light of Peace'. Along with charities supporting the three forces and the Merchant Navy Association, over 100 Care UK homes will take part in this nationwide tribute.  

At Station House, the team have been hard at work organising a special event which will see residents and guests enjoy a 1940s-themed party, complete with popular wartime songs and a delicious BBQ. Team members will also be dressed in 40's attire and the mayor will be attending the celebrations. 

The lamp, which represents the peace that followed the end of World War Two, will be lit at 9.15pm by the Mayor, Dawn Clark
