On the 8th of June, Beechgrove Care Home took part in one of Scotland's oldest traditions, Lanark Lanimers.
In 1892 the first procession was held and the following year saw the first Lanimer Queen being crowned. Now in modern times, the event has grown to be one of the largest processions of its type in the whole of the United Kingdom.
Everyone in the home enjoyed watching this year's event with the procession having a pipe band, horses, and decorated floats. We ended the event with a special visit from the Lanimer Queen, Crowning Lady, and two Chief Maids which our residents were delighted to meet and welcome into our home.
