Centenary celebrations at an award-winning care home were made even more memorable courtesy of a very 'cheeky' visitor.

A surprise butler served up a storm as three milestone birthdays were marked.

Staff and residents at the Dell Care Home near Lowestoft united in celebrating a 100th birthday, and two 95th birthdays on Sunday.

And while it may not have been the traditional way to mark a 100th - or a 95th - birthday, there was a very cheeky surprise for the trio of delighted female residents.

Serving up a birthday party they aren’t likely to forget in a hurry, the ladies were dressed in sashes and tiaras and expressed delight as they were pampered like royalty during the unexpected surprise.

On seeing the butler in the buff, Elsie exclaimed: "Oh, my goodness!"

Mary, also 95, who looked after her mother and held various jobs, laughed excitedly as the butler made a special appearance, while Margaret, who turned 100 and who hails from Redcar and was a former factory worker during the war and later a taxi driver, was also part of the celebrations.
