A care home welcomed police officers for a community event dubbed 'Coffee with a Coppa.'

Boroughbridge Manor Care Home hosted PCSO Jack Gudger and PC Connor Coulthurst for the purpose.

The officers spoke to the audience - which comprised residents and community members - about their career paths and reasons for joining the force, as well as giving updates about the town.

The men also answered questions from the audience.

One resident was particularly moved by the visit, as it reminded her of her father, who had been the chief constable of the Strathclyde Police Force.

Susan Carter, general manager of Boroughbridge Manor Care Home, extended an invitation to local emergency services to "take their duty break on us for free."

Ms Carter said that the invitation was "to say thank you for all of the great work our emergency services do for us."

She added: "We are pleased to offer all of our local service workers who stop in tea, coffee, juice, chilled water, delicious homemade cake and biscuits, and a healthy selection of fruit, available free of charge.

"Our comfortable facilities include free Wi-Fi and service with a smile; do stop in and say hi - we would be delighted to see you!"

Boroughbridge Manor Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare and provides residential and dementia care for 81 residents.
