A Christmas tree tribute to The Beatles and Liverpool has won a care home competition.

The tree created by Aaron Grange Care Home residents in Huyton was crowned Northwest winner of the Hill Care Group ‘Spruce Me Up! Christmas Tree Competition’, which saw 29 care homes take part.

Resident Alan Kitchin, 69,, said: “I’m delighted we won. It’s a tree like no other. Very creative yet still festive.”

The tree is adorned by Paul, John, George, and Ringo cardboard cutouts as well as musical instruments and signs for The Cavern Club, Penny Lane, and Mathew Street, which were made famous by the band.

Other Liverpudlian cultural icons also feature, including the Liverpool and Everton football club logos and several of the region’s comedians, such as former resident of the care home Stevie Faye, Stan Boardman, Paul O’Grady, Kenn Dodd, and singer and TV presenter Cilla Black.

Mandy Vernon, manager director of the Hill Care Group, one of the judges for the competition, said: “Thank you to the 29 care homes who entered our Christmas tree competition.

“It looks like they all had great times decorating the trees. It was great to see so much resident involvement and home-made decorations, with Aaron Grange’s Liverpool themed tree a deserved winner.”
