Chris and Margaret, friends of 50 years, had an emotional reunion recently when Margaret was flown in by helicopter as a special surprise from Chris's son and staff at the care home where she resides.
It was an emotional reunion for two friends of 50 years as they met up again thanks to a surprise organised by family and care home staff. 83-year-old Chris Perry from Woodthorpe Lodge care home in Loughborough had a ‘magical’ day when her best friend Margaret was flown by helicopter to see her after two years.
Chris said:"We used to have a fabulous time - there were five couples on the street. The men would play squash and us ladies would sit and chat, and then we’d order a takeaway." Chris’ son, Steve, organised to have a helicopter pick Margaret up from her home in Somerset and fly her to his home in Ulverscroft, where the team at Woodthorpe would be waiting with an unsuspecting Chris. When Margaret emerged from the helicopter, Chris could not believe her eyes.
