There were smiles all round at the senior citizens' afternoon tea party in the Assembly Rooms as part of the Wick Gala Week programme.

The well-attended event on Tuesday, the first in three years, provided an opportunity for residents from Seaview House care home and users of the Laurandy Centre to join together and meet up with old friends.

Members of the gala court were present, while invited guests Lily Sutherland, Emily Mackenzie, Grace Miller, Eve Miller and Megan Tucker entertained the guests with dancing, singing, poetry recitals and violin tunes.
