A Leamington care home has celebrated trail-blazing women throughout history for International Women’s Day today (Friday March 8).

They also talked about the important women in their own lives and celebrated the achievements of their fellow residents.
Rose Tucker, activities coordinator at Cubbington Mill, said: “We’ve all had a really interesting day thinking about the many brilliant women who have had such an impact on our lives, whether that was an historic figure or people in our own family.
