It's a dilemma – how many of my classmates shall I invite to my birthday party?

Lisa Tuckwell had no such problem – the five-year-old invited them all to her grandparents’ home at Hill Farm, Newington, in 1980.

All 25 from Stadhampton Primary School sat down to tea, followed by entertainment from Lisa’s great grandmother, who played the piano to get the party going with a swing.
