A village community in Kent came together to celebrate a special person born on Christmas Day.
Gladys Banks – dubbed the Queen of Borough Green – turns 108 today, and enjoyed a street party held in her honour.
The whole community gathered in the street outside Gladys’ front garden for an early bash on 30 November during their Christmas lights switch on and treated her to a birthday cake, champagne and music, while the large crowd sang Happy Birthday.
Abba fan Gladys, who danced in her chair holding a glass of fizz, said: “The people here in Borough Green are so good to me. I’m the Queen of Borough Green, you know, so I practise my wave!”
