    Frank thanks you all for your good wishes. Don't know whether its a good thing or not but he is slightly tipsy at the moment 🙂 He did enjoy himself and that s the main thing. We had to leave the restaurant a little early – have you guessed – yup United were playing but he continued partying even after the draw.

    Thank you all again
    Love…
