General manager of Lydfords Rikki-Gene Bury said: "We are always keen to support our local community as much as we can.

"We have our community café and don’t dine alone events. The flowers were a lovely idea and shows how kind our residents are here."

The spring bunches were delivered by Sam Harding, a home service adviser at Lydfords, up and down Uckfield High Street.

A spokesman for the home said: "The residents at Lydfords wanted to do something to brighten up their day and make them smile. Residents at the care home made the daffodils to give out as an act of kindness."
