A Keighley woman is trying to trace friends of her partner from over the years for a surprise 50th birthday party.

Wendy Renwick, of Ingrow Lane, is organising the bash at the Eastwood Tavern - next to Keighley fire station - on March 8 (7.30pm).

She is inviting along anyone who knows Ronnie Hegarty, and has issued a special plea for secrecy.

Wendy said: "Ronnie will have friends from over the years whom I haven't been able to contact, and we would love to see them on March 8. I hope to keep this issue of the Keighley News away from Ronnie so he doesn't find out about the party, and I would ask people if possible not to mention anything to him."

Wendy can be contacted on 01535 605480.
