Residents at a care home in Somerset rolled back the years as they gathered around a small television set to watch the Queen Elizabeth II's funeral.
The small group of residents at Court House in Cheddar replicated from times gone by - just like at the Queen's coronation 69 years earlier - as they sat together to pay their respects to the late monarch for the final time.
Christopher Dando, 56, who works as the care home's manager, brought in the black and white Defiant television set for its first use in around 50 years for his residents to enjoy and reminisce.
It is believed that around 2.5 million TV sets were bought in the 1950s, mainly to watch Queen Elizabeth II's formal accession to the throne.
That is exactly what Christopher's grandparents - Winifred and Ronald Dando - did in Midsomer Norton in 1953 with around 17 people gathered for the historic event.
And Christopher believed that bringing out the old Defiant set, with slight modifications, for the Queen's funeral was the perfect opportunity to show to his residents.
He told Metro : "My dad died eight years ago and I have had it ever since. For years I’ve been thinking I really ought to get it out and do something with it.
"As it was bought for the coronation, I just thought the funeral is the perfect time to get it out and show it off to the residents.
"Our residents are all elderly and most of them can remember something about the coronation. Bringing it back out for the funeral has certainly invoked a lot of memories. There is a lot of memories for them in those TV sets."
Despite the set being moved from location to location over the intervening years, it remained intact although it is analogue rather than digital so the TV screen did not work.
But Christopher used his initiative and fitted an iPad, which was a similar size to the original screen, in place for the residents to watch the events of Her Majesty's final journey.
He added: "It’s a really old set up with lots of bulbs in it. It is all analogue rather than digital, but the screen fits an iPad in perfectly so we have slipped that into it and they have re-watched the coronation and all the news on it."
One of Court House's residents, Ruby Cockle, who was among one of the group to watch it on the TV set, was one of the last people to receive a letter from the Queen after turning 100 years old on August 26 this year.
