Celebrations in Cabra as Gardai surprise dancing birthday girl on 100th birthday

Gardai joined a special lady for some birthday celebrations in her front garden on Sunday as she reached a massive milestone.

Kathleen Kavanagh from Cabra celebrated her 100th birthday and put on her dancing shoes to bust a few moves over the weekend with Garda Mark of the Garda Band performing 'For She's A Jolly Good Fellow' on the saxophone.

Kathleen proved age is just a number and that she is as fit as a fiddle in the heartwarming video as she celebrates her second birthday in lockdown.

Gardai later took to social media to share a video of the visit.

They wrote on Twitter: “Garda Mark of the Garda Band and Garda Shane, Community Policing Cabra Garda Station, called to celebrate the 100th birthday of Kathleen Kavanagh from Dublin 7 yesterday.

“Happy birthday Kathleen!”

Users responded to the video of Kathleen dancing on her special day.

Someone said: “Happy birthday Kathleen. Well done guys I'm sure this lifted her spirits.”

Another said: “Happy birthday Kathleen hope I have your energy and style at 100.”

One other user tweeted: "What a feelgood little post. Well done & best happy birthday wishes to Kathleen."
