She looked so lovely and was awake just about the entire time, with little short catnaps for about 5 minutes in between. The Lord Mayor of Leeds came and presented her with a plaque from the City of Leeds, and a silver photo frame. Additionally her telegram from the Queen also came - which was gorgeous and signed personally by the Queen. I have it on video so I'll have to post that later.
All of her family who was in town and available came. Pat & Dave Webster, Justine, Richard & Sam Tippler, Michael Walden, Joe & Norma Connor, Edward & Joyce Keely, Christine & Danielle Metcalfe, Annemarie & Tim Boyle, Anne Mathews, Sue, Dave & David Exum and our friends Diane Cole and Andrea, as well as Joyce's sister Barbara. All the nurses who were
even off on Saturday came to help her celebrate. We had two singers come who sang all the old WWII songs. Auntie Winnie was dancing in her wheelchair - and appeared to have a great time. She kept saying how much she loved everyone and how lucky she was.
