Gigi Despojo, general manager of Cherry Blossom Manor, said: "Our residents had a whale of a time on the canal trip.

"Adventures that take place outside of the home are a regular event for the residents, and we always ask for ideas on where they would best like to go.

"The day was a lot of fun, residents were able to enjoy a beautiful day on the river which was quite therapeutic, thankfully the weather held out."

One resident, Michael said "it was a wonderful day for us, thank you".
