Brother Tom Carter celebrated his 100th birthday on 27 March 2024. Unfortunately he was taken into Blackpool Victoria Hospital the day before. However he managed to get a pass out for the celebrations organised by his family and the parish the following weekend. At this celebration his presence was announced by the Town Cryer; he was presented with a card from the King by the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire; presented with various items by a detachment from RAF Leeming and received a Papal Blessing from Canon Peter Hart on behalf of the parish.
Although he wasn't able to attend the April Circle meeting we nevertheless celebrated his achievement along with his daughter, Bernie, and two nieces, Theresa and Mia and a cake. Bernie accepted a scroll from HO signed by the National President commemorating Tom's achievement. Tom is now back attending Circle meetings.
