Residents at one care home were surpised with some furry visitors to cheer them up during the lockdown.

Alpacas the world over are helping to ease the hardship of isolation - and those staying at a nursing home in West Lothian, Scotland, were greeted by them from a safe distance at their window sills.

They haven't had any company in weeks so the furry visitors were welcomed with smiles.

The alpacas came from a couple's farm nearby.

Marika Richie, alpaca owner, said: "We hope to have created a special memory for all of them during this uncertain time."
