Ismay Linton was a recent belle of the ball, at a weekend of parties celebrating her 90th birthday.

Family flew in from the United States to join other family members here as well as friends, for the official birthday celebration at which over 100 people filled a gaily decorated room at Almond Bay to pay tribute to “the phenomenal 90-year-old queen”. Everyone sprang to their feet when the nonagenarian entered and danced her way to the platform.

A member of the New Testament Church of God, Linton later joined her grandchildren singing favourite church choruses, and was tickled when they appeared modelling hats from her fabulous collection acquired through the years.
