Wardens surprise elderly Esme with a birthday singalong as she turns 97
Esme, pictured above, has said it was "one of the best birthdays ever" after she was surprised by kind council wardens who presented her with flowers, balloons and a cake.
Her usual helper is self-isolating, so the wardens have been helping out with shopping and, on hearing it was her birthday, had insisted such an age was worth celebrating.
