One of Montiboli’s eldest residents celebrated her 101st birthday yesterday, and Villajoyosa Local Police ensured it was a memorable event despite lockdown.

AT 8pm, officers made their way to Doña Vicenta Pérez Aznar’s home with the customary siren salute, to surprise her with a bouquet of flowers, a cake and to wish her a happy birthday, maintaining social distancing of course.

Sharing a video of the heartwarming gestures, the police department said: “A special gift for an unparalleled person.”
