Liz Short's 100 birthday party

It was great to be invited to Liz Short's 100 birthday party held at Bootle Cricket Club. Liz had five generations of her family present. My job was to present her with the telegram from the Queen and to join in the singing of Happy Birthday

Paul Newbery presented Liz with a bottle of Champagne on behalf of the Firwood  Bootle Cricket Club who hosted the event. Everyone I spoke to was very impressed with the club and the care it had taken over this event

Liz lives at the Willow Gardens, St Edmonds Rd, Bootle and other residents and staff had joined her family in celebrating her birthday.
