The event was officially opened by Mayor Peter Rush who said: “It is always our pleasure to attend and we are pleased to see these summer fayres in Middleton and to see the dignity of care for these elderly people.”

Assistant manager Nicky Prince added: “We usually catch lucky with the weather every year and this year is the
