His son, Ryan Johnson, a former local government worker who realised there would be lots of Star UK Travel customers and elderly residents in Banbury in need of some entertainment, said: "What better way to keep a smile on their faces than provide some of the shows they have enjoyed over the years, bringing the magic to the comfort of their living rooms."

Ronnie Johnson, Star UK Travel Manager said: "We are truly a community focused business and many of our customers feel like family.

"Its fantastic that the power of social media and our website is enabling us to reach them at these challenging times. With many theatres, venues and museums opening up their doors ‘online’ its great that people have the opportunity to still enjoy them."

Star UK Travel will continue to update its online library and share many opportunities across social media channels daily.
