Selina flexes her muscles on a balloon

It's fighting back and she finds she can't knot it

Success, minus knot, but what are mother's for?

Look at the concentration [and double chins]

The two waitresses in the background folding napkins.

Selina's I-am-being-photographed look. The boots matched her gran's outfit.

Time for that final touch of makeup before the party starts

The guests, Jane & Kevin, with Rob & Kirsty in the background, start to arrive

Joseph arrives without his parents - are they stuck in a snow drift?

Auntie Winnie reassures him.

Yes, Simon & Dawn's eldest Elizabeth, is taller than Selina despite all Selina's valiant attempt to wear heels

Standing eye-to-eye, David greets his grandson, Hugh

Those helium balloons actually say 90

Joseph's parents arrive with daughter Isabella, having walked the dog first

Simon sits next to his son Hugh, and next to his some-complicated-cousin-relationship-to Jane

Doug, the chef & manager, adjusts the table settings, while Rosemary seizes on a glass of wine

Kevin, Rosemary & Selina queue for food

Winnie stands to cut her cake

The cake was pale blue (for the sky) with butterflies and 9 candles - Doug suggested one for each decade

What do you do with these things?

You can throw the streamers
