BBC TV antiques expert David Harper officially opened a new retirement community in Whitley Bay. 

David set his seal of approval on the Elderton Place Retirement Living Plus development. He was joined by current and prospective homeowners for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting to begin the launch celebrations at the development on Coquet Avenue. 

Homeowners and guests enjoyed a talk from David, where he shared more about his life and career, as well as telling them more about the background of their treasured possessions. 

Louise Flynn, Divisional Marketing Manager at McCarthy Stone said "It was fantastic to have David come along to officially open Elderton Place, which provides a unique band of retirement living combining maximum independence for those over 70, with tailored support when and where needed. All of the homeowners and guests really enjoyed meeting David, learning more about his fascinating life and work, as well as receiving his insight and advice about their own antique possessions and finds."
