Peterborough United striker Ricky-Jade Jones unveiled a plaque, marking the official opening of Waterhouse Manor Care Home in Hampton, Peterborough. “I have had a look around the care home. I’ve seen the cinema rooms and the other facilities,” he said.

“It really is somewhere you would want to live. You can’t ask for much more.” said Jones, who praised the state-of-the-art amenities.

Waterhouse Manor Care Home recently partnered with Peterborough United FC for a 12-month sponsorship with the club.

The event featured lively performances from showgirls, a magician, a live performance from Fiona and Gabriella, and a photobooth, with canapés and a Hollywood buffet served throughout.
