90th Birthday: Congratulations, Love and Best Wishes to a longstanding friend and the smartest gentleman in Bridgend (originally from Maesteg ) namely Ronnie Fahey, of Oaklands, Bridgend, where he has resided with his equally smart wife Maureen since the early 60s.

Ronnie has many attributes including dancing and gardening and will celebrate his 90th Birthday next week.

Ronnie has already celebrated his birthday at The Ivy restaurant in Windsor last week with Maureen, daughter Dawn and son-in-law Martin. They were in Windsor to see his pride and joy, grandson Joe Elliott who was taking part in the Changing of the Guard at Windsor playing trombone in the Band of The Irish Guards.

A big Happy Birthday from all the family, friends and neighbours and wishing him many more!
