“We have a few over-90s who attend the café weekly, so it’s nothing new for us to celebrate a 90th.”

The party also include viewing a DVD about the Queen’s life, which everyone enjoyed, despite a few technical hitches.

Ann added: “A lot of the DVD on the Queen’s life was in black and white and just like the good old days of the cinema, it kept cutting out, much to everyone’s amusement.”
