A Heartfelt Duet: A Magical Moment with Beryl and Jimmy
At Priory Court Care Home, a truly touching moment unfolded when local entertainer Jimmy Kent, from Mack Entertainment, paid a special visit to perform for residents. With his usual charm and vibrant energy, Jimmy invited residents to request their favourite songs—an offer that sparked a moment to remember.
Among the voices was that of 100-year-old Beryl Payne, who asked for a song that holds a special place in her heart: “We’ll Meet Again” by Vera Lynn. As Jimmy began to sing the timeless classic, he knelt beside Beryl, and the two shared a heartfelt duet that moved everyone in the room.
“It was wonderful,” said Beryl with a smile. “He has made my day.”
Fiona Smith, Lifestyle Lead, reflected on the emotional experience: “This was a magical moment—and what makes my job so worthwhile, to see something so meaningful happen right before our eyes.”
Moments like these capture the essence of life at Priory Court—where residents are celebrated, memories are honoured, and joy is shared in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.
