Hilda Jackson celebrated her 105th birthday with a rave party that resembled a festival, complete with strobe lighting, glow sticks, and a DJ who entertained at top UK festivals. The birthday girl sipped on champagne, enjoying the festivities at her Derbyshire care home, Holbrook Hall residential home. Guests helped themselves to free-flowing cocktails from a pop-up bar run by Jägermeister. Jackson expressed her gratitude and satisfaction, stating she never expected such a turnout. She attributes her long life to good health and her love of dancing. Among the celebrities in attendance was Nottingham-based rapper Bru-C, who shared that he was surprised by how much he enjoyed the event. Her family, like her nephew David Durow, were also pleasantly surprised and delighted by the celebration. Jackson advised younger generations to enjoy life to the fullest and not give up.
