These care home residents recreated iconic album covers and it’s absolutely joyous

Residents and carers at a north London care home have been recreating classic album covers to keep themselves occupied during the lockdown and it’s the pick-me-up we all need right now.

The idea was the brainchild of Robert Speker, activities coordinator at Sydmar Lodge Care Home in Edgware, and is helping to raise money for three charities (find the GoFundMe link here).
