Residents at Ashbrook Court care home in Sewardstone popped into their local Tesco store at the Brookfield Centre, Waltham Cross, last week and came away with much more than they bargained for.

Unbeknownst to the residents and Ashbrook Court’s Activities Coordinator, Tanya, and Giorgio Canceddan their driver who accompanied them, there was a prize draw taking place that day involving a very famous celebrity.

Yvonne, one of the residents on the trip out, along with Tanya, Giorgio and Gwen Potter another of Ashbrook Courts residents  was delighted to spot Gary Lineker in the store, who was disguised as a security guard.   They all entered the prize drawer and Yvonne was amazed to hear that she was announced as the winner of the £1,000 prize.

What’s more, Tanya and Gwen Potter also won a £30 gift voucher each in the draw, making it an enjoyable and very successful day out for everyone. Gary was kind enough to stop and have his photo taken with the Ashbrook Court residents.
