RESIDENTS at the RMBI (Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution) Care Company's Queen Elizabeth Court in Llandudno recently enjoyed celebrating 'Talk Like a Pirate Day'.

Together, the group took part in a variety of fun-filled pirate activities, such as ‘bomb the pirate ship’ and 'pin the patch on the pirate', and made pirate-themed cupcakes, which went down well with a nip of rum.

Residents also took part in a mini quiz to name the Amazon green parrot, followed by sea shanties accompanied by an accordion with the staff.

Jenny Rye, one of Queen Elizabeth Court’s activities co-ordinators, said: “Our residents and staff at Queen Elizabeth Court had a fantastic time celebrating 'Talk like a Pirate Day'. We really enjoy hosting fun and unique activities to entertain them.”
