Ryde Retirement Residents Demonstrate 'Uplifting And Brilliant Spirit'

Residents at St Vincents retirement home in Ryde have demonstrated 'brilliant and uplifting spirit' - amid coronavirus fears. It comes in the wake of the pandemic, which has so far closed UK schools, cancelled events and claimed the lives of thousands worldwide. Residents have had their photos taken with messages to send to their families - after Prime Minister Boris Johnson said those aged over 70 with underlying health issues must self-isolate. Scroll for pictures... Staff at the home say they are 'stocked up, still smiling and still making memories'.
