HAPPY BIRTHDAY

SIR QUENTIN BLAKE, 85. The Kent-born illustrator is best-known for creating the pictures for most of Roald Dahl’s books. He was appointed Britain’s first ever Children’s Laureate in 1999, but said: ‘ I do like children, but only as people. Not as if they’re a special category.’ DENNIS WISE, 51. The London-born former England footballer and Millwall manager was in the I’m A Celebrity … jungle this month and hailed as the poster boy of the ‘Rise of the fittysomethings’ for his youthful physique. His team-mates once put him in a dog cage when he apparently lost his temper after being teased.
