Peter Clarke has received birthday wishes from all over the county and beyond and the Fordstown native - who has just turned 100 years young - deserves every one of them.

The day the Meath Chronicle called, Peter was more than happy to take out his accordion and play a version of 'The Geese in the Bog.' With him were two of his five children, daugher Bernie and son Ollie.

And right in the middle of it all was our very own Seamus Farrelly who introduced Peter using a remote control for a microphone. Why? We don't care, just enjoy and you can read Peter's full, heartlifting story only in Tuesday's Meath Chronicle.
