A care home has transported residents back in time with a 1970s-themed nostalgia day.
Florence Court Care Home in Fareham, embraced the past through its monthly Memory Box activity, which encourages reminiscence and social connection among residents.
The 1970s box featured classic music, vintage magazines, and replica items such as a mini Polaroid camera.
One resident said: "It felt like stepping right back into my youth."
