Confetti Reception Continues New Family Tradition of Welcoming Nurse Home

The Lake family from Ewloe, in Wales, have become unlikely social media stars thanks to a series of videos showing their daily welcome for mother of the house Lynne as she returns home from her job as a nurse during the coronavirus pandemic.

She’s been greeted with applause, song and, on March 31, it was time to cover her in confetti. However, the conscientious family that they clearly are, one was on hand to vacuum up the mess made.

Lynne Lake’s daughter, Zoe, told Storyful that on top of her dedication to her job, “she is a brilliant mum and does so much for us all. We believe she is a true hero and deserves all the recognition she can get.”

As seen in this video and others recorded by Zoe, Lynne is greeted daily by husband Richard, her sons Jonathan and Peter, and Zoe’s fiance, Joshua. Credit: Zoe Lake via Storyful
