Cork dairy farmer Denis Dilworth on his 101st birthday with calves brought by local Cllr Alan Coleman.
Cork dairy farmer Denis Dilworth celebrated his 101st birthday in style last weekend in Cramer’s Court nursing home.
Denis was born on 25 February 1920, just after the Spanish flu had killed more than 20,000 people in Ireland. He spent much of his life dairy farming in Vicarstown, Donoughmore, Co Cork.
The staff at the nursing home, where he has been resident for just about a year, wanted to make his day extra special.
Teresa O’Donovan, activities coordinator at Cramer’s Court nursing home, said: “The first thing we did was send out a call out to his parish of Donoughmore. I wanted video footage of people wishing him well.”
