Hilda’s nephew, David Durow, 81, a retired psychologist, said when he had heard his aunt would like a rave for her birthday, he had thought: “Well, that fits in with you, with your general personality and your general love of life, the kind of things that you like to do.”.
The people here are wonderful and I think we’ve had a really good time,” Jackson said, her face decorated with UV paint.
“I could drive and I’d got a car, my friends and I used to go out, spend the day out, go and have a meal somewhere, we didn’t book anywhere, we just used to say: ‘We’ll go in here and have a meal’.
In some ways, he said, Jackson’s birthday party wasn’t all that different.
This was not an Instagram influencer’s Ibiza pool party, however – it was Hilda Jackson’s 105th-birthday rave in her Derbyshire care home.
