We are delighted to share a photograph of Gabrielle Kingaby who turned 100 over the summer. Class of 1941, Gabrielle went on to work at Bletchley Park as a codebreaker during the war. For her centenary birthday celebrations she was joined by family and friends from as far afield as Canada and Brazil, whilst the youngest attending were her great grandchildren. She has told us that amongst the many celebrations she enjoyed a family dinner in a local restaurant, a lunch for friends and family the following day after a champagne reception at her daughter's home. The final event was a tea party for thirty guests at the sheltered flats where she lives, which was catered and served by her family. That sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate reaching a hundred! She was also delighted with the short video of the St Helen's choir singing Happy Birthday, which was sent in time for her birthday.
We wish her well, for she is an inspiration to us all!
