Happy Birthday Rodney…..

Our beloved Roddles turns 60 today and thousands around the World have turned out to help him celebrate this momentous occasion…

It’s hard to find a photo of Roddles without the blonde sheila beside him

 

There were fireworks to open the proceedings…

The rain didn’t keep the crowds away, they all wanted to be there to wish him a happy 60th birthday.

…and you couldn’t keep Rodney’s old girl friends away from this event either, they weren’t going to miss this for anything. They obviously all have very fond memories of Rodney and these girls said that he’d spoilt them for other men.

These old girl friends didn’t care about the rain

 

We’ll always love you Rodney

 

It was only fitting that the River Thames be the back drop so that Rodney’s fellow merchant sailors from around the World could join in the festivities.

Many celebrities took time out of their busy schedule to help celebrate Rodney’s special day.

…and finally Rodney acknowledged all his well wishers by wearing his special birthday fancy dress outfit while waving the Union Jack. No wonder we all love him so much.

What a day it was, certainly one that will be remembered. In fact in years to come you’ll be able to recall where you were on the day that Rodney turned 60.

    Rodney would like to thank everyone who turned out for his special day……!!!

    Thank you so much Peter, you’ve had us laughing our heads off and there are tears running down my cheeks. I better make sure that today is just as special for him.

    By the way, he doesn’t look any older, perhaps even cuter with his oh so continental suntan.

    Cheers Laura x
