Heartwarming scenes of family reunion have been seen across the country as restrictions on care home visits are eased as part of Boris Johnson s roadmap out of lockdown.
Footage shows the moment Patsy, 81, and Fred, 82, who have been married 60 years, were able to hold hands and be together for the first time in 355 days at Ashlea Court Care Home, Waltham, Lincolnshire, yesterday.
Prior to the pandemic Patsy would travel to visit Fred, who has advanced dementia, every day from her home in Cleethorpes.
Patsy said: It has been almost exactly a year to the day since we last saw each other properly, we tried to do visits through the window and on video chat but with his condition that just upset him.
