Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Councillor Ivor Wallace has joined 100th birthday celebrations for Rasharkin resident Ida Love.
Ida was one of four special ladies who celebrated the significant milestone during July. Lily Johnston from Limavady, Jean Jackson from Coleraine, and Emma Cairns from Limavady also joined the local lady in reaching the ‘big100’!
To mark the occasion, Ida enjoyed a personal visit from the Mayor and was presented with a bespoke civic gift created as part of Council’s Platinum Jubilee programme.
Extending his best wishes, the Mayor said:
“Throughout the Platinum Jubilee year we are offering all of our residents who reach their 100th birthday a unique keepsake, and I’m very pleased to have this opportunity to make four presentations during the month of July.
“It has been a privilege for me to meet Lily, Ida, Jean and Emily and give them this recognition.
“I want to pay tribute to their family, friends and carers who I met along the way as well, and I am very grateful to have played a part in their birthday celebrations.
“I want to thank all four ladies for taking the time to meet with me, and it’s a privilege for me to be able to mark their birthdays in this way as part of Council’s Platinum Jubilee programme.”
