Mr Harper played at Meadow House and wore a full piper's uniform, including heavyweight kilt.

Music was played, Mr Burns' famous poetry was recited and everyone joined in to sing Auld Lang Syne.

People enjoyed a spread of traditional Haggis, neeps and tatties, Scotch eggs and more, which was laid on by the staff at the home.

Maria Seitan, manager of Meadow House, said: 'Everyone had an amazing time.

'This was particularly special for Ron Clarke, a resident at the nursing home, who was born in Edinburgh.

'He joined the air force when he was 17, met his wife and later moved to Norfolk.

'Ron was in tears of joy celebrating Burns Night and hearing the pipes.'

'We would like to thank the wonderful activities team here at Meadow House for organising such a lovely celebration.'
