Staff at the Dorrator Court sheltered housing complex went all out to ensure Fred Walker had a day to remember – with other residents joining in the party.
In the morning of May 5 they enjoyed a concert from Bo’ness Belles while in the afternoon there was a party with vocalist Zoe Richards providing the entertainment.
There was also a cake for the 105-year-old and his fellow residents to enjoy.
His daughter Janette Huskie, along with husband Ian, had flown from their home in Washington State in the US to be with him on his big day.
The pandemic meant they were unable to be with he when he became a centenarian.
Fred, who was born in Falkirk and grew up in Stirling, joined the RAF in 1939 and served all over the world.
He met his future wife Marjorie, who was in the WAAF, when they were both based at Dyce Airfield in Aberdeen and the pair married in 1944.
