They also played bingo, with eight-year-old Billy and 94-year-old Ray declared the winners.

Therfield headteacher Tara McGovern said: "This is a highly anticipated rite of passage for our Year 4 pupils. 

"The personal development that the children get from spending time with the elderly members is beyond amazing. The smile on everyone’s faces is a joy to see."
