BIRMINGHAM, U.K. - TelAve -- Residents, families and staff at Neville Williams House enjoyed an unforgettable afternoon of music, dancing and celebration as part of BCOP's 80th anniversary year.

The home hosted a special "Step Back in Time" event, transforming its entrance hall, lounge and pub with colourful 80 years themed banners, bunting and decorations to create a vibrant party atmosphere throughout the building.

A live DJ provided music from across the decades, with residents and guests taking to the dancefloor to enjoy everything from the Charleston, jive and swing to line dancing, rock n' roll, reggae and the Twist.

One particularly emotional moment came during a special "Last Waltz" for Libby, who is retiring after many years of dedicated service at the home.

Many staff members embraced the spirit of the day by dressing in costumes inspired by different eras, while residents and relatives joined in the celebrations, creating a joyful atmosphere filled with laughter, dancing and shared memories.
