Residents of a care home were thrilled by a visit from an 86-year-old classic car.

The 1938 Bentley made a surprise visit to Crabwall Hall care home in Chester, much to the delight of the residents.

The car owner Paul, from a nearby village, brought it over for all to see.

General manager Nicole Welch said that the residents enjoyed the visit.

She: "We knew that some of our residents have a particular liking for these vehicles and it was great to see their faces light up."
