On Thursday there was a 1940s-themed celebration - complete with displays and costumes and some delicious looking cakes.

Representatives from the popular reminiscence coffee mornings were also in attendance, and the event served as a launch date for a brand new Macmillan Cancer Support information point.

Local councillors Warren Whyte and Jon Harvey (the current Mayor of Buckingham) joined forces with Noel Brown, cabinet member for public health at Bucks County Council -to launch the new facility, and celebrate the landmark birthday.
