EVELYN Collens's 94th birthday celebrated yesterday held a special significance - not only because of the unusual date involved but because an old friend in the celebrity world called to fix it for her.
Mrs Collens, who lives in St Peter's Street, Clayton-le-Dale, celebrated the milestone with her children and grandchildren on 04/04/04.
But Evelyn, who was good friends with Sir Jimmy Savile's mother, and whose son Barry worked as Sir Jimmy's bodyguard for 11 years, received a birthday call and a song over the phone from the TV
star.
