Margaret had been looking forward to her 70th for many months and had been planning it for even longer. So, when it finally arrived, it could have been a bit of an anti-climax. In fact, it was anything but - Margaret beamed from start to finish and everyone enjoyed themselves tremendously.
The food was a sight to behold, as you can see below, and there was so much left at the end most of the guests finished up taking some of it home.
There is a second series of photos taken on Margaret's camera by various people throughout the eveming. You can see these here.
And there's a video of the grand opening of the presents.
All in all, a fabulous evening. Congratulations, Margaret.
