A young lady in a Moorlands village has been treated to a neighbourly celebration – with social distancing – for her 18^th birthday.

Megan Probyn turned 18 on Friday (April 24) and was set to celebrate her birthday with a trip to a Manchester theatre to see Phantom of the Opera – but due to the current coronavirus restrictions, that was not possible for Megan who loves the theatre.

However, Megan, who has special needs, was instead treated to a street celebration, which was organised by Iris and Alan Large, whereby all her neighbours in Sidney Drive in Kingsley Holt came out at a specific time to sing Happy Birthday to her.

Neighbours had also baked Megan a birthday cake and gave her cards and gifts for her special birthday.

Megan, who has been a member of Cheadle CATS for several years, then entertained her neighbours by dancing to ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’.

Her father, Tim, said of the special occasion: “It was lovely, really amazing.

“We would like to thank everyone.

“It was nice that everyone did this – especially during the current situation.”

• Lovely family and such a special young lady to all of us here in the close community of Sidney Drive. I've lived here since I was 3 years old and its a fabulous area with close family friendships and the Probyn family, as many more, have certainly taken root in this fabulous area and Megan and Sid are the most politest kids ever. Tim and Sarah should, and im sure, are very proud. Xx
