ALTON-based home care provider Acqua Doria hosted a tea party on Saturday for service users and staff to celebrate the royal wedding.

The company hired a hall in Alton and decked it out in red white and blue for the occasion. There were sandwiches and savouries and staff had baked cakes many of which were red white and blue themed.

It was a glorious sunny day and most of the service users were able to attend. They were joined by then Alton mayor Dean Phillips, who delighted everyone by hosting the raffle with prizes donated by staff and friends, with money raised going to Dementia Friendly Alton.
