There are birthdays and then there are birthdays and Ebba Stocks celebrated one of those when she turned 102 this year.
The frail centenarian was the guest of honour at this month’s birthday party at the Seniors’ Centre on Wednesday.
She received a lot of flowers and the personal best wishes of Mayor David Raven at the event.
Here are a few photos of the party I thought I’d share with you:
