Senior citizens enjoyed memories of the swinging sixties during an open day at Crown Care Centre

The Clydeside Singers came along to entertain everyone and performed a medley of hits from the golden era.

Staff and singers alike donned swing skirts and wore their hair in ponytails as they threw themselves into the spirit of the celebration.

But the bash was for all ages and young students from West College Scotland also joined in.

They have been visitng the centre for the last six weeks to work on a mural as part of a wider course project.

Lecturer Nicola Young, who teaches in the additional support departments, said they were invited along to the centre by activities co-ordinator Jaswinder Kaur as the class were doing a topic on nostalgia and what gave older people good memories.

They discovered that talking about dance halls, entertainment and how they met they partners brought them lots of happy memories.

Nicola said: "The visits have built friendships and bridges between younger and older people.

"The students have started creating a mural based on this theme at the centre and another two students have come down and have helped to build a new chicken coop.

"They have been working on the topic at college and this gives them an opportunity to learn about their grandparents' generation."

Cathie Cook, 84, who uses the centre, said: "I really enjoyed the music.

"I come along three days a week and there is always plenty of entertainment here, there's never a dull moment."

Stuart McMillan MSP was also invited to the party and was swift to praise the centre.

He said: "It is an excellent facility for people of all ages in the community.

"I am really impressed by the warmth of the hospitality, you can see that people enjoy coming here."
