A warm welcome and good food awaited diners at the return of a Sunday lunch club forced to close during the coronavirus pandemic.

The club, aimed at anyone aged over 60, is run by Caring and Sharing in partnership with the Royal Highland Hotel, Inverness.

After many were anticipating its return, numbers at the first lunch were unfortunately hit due to rising coronavirus cases.

But those who did manage to make it were delighted by the welcome they received, along with the food plus entertainment.
