Many happy returns to Margaret from Raunds on her 100th birthday
A visit from the mayor helped make it a day to remember as Margaret Tirebuck celebrated the milestone of turning 100.
While lockdown restrictions meant the Raunds resident wasn't able to have the family celebration that had been planned, she was still able to enjoy the day with close family and a visit from the Raunds mayor Cllr Sylvia Hughes on Sunday (June 7) - albeit all within social distancing guidelines.
