The toasts that have been made, and in due course of time, we'll have photos and maybe even videos.

Cat Darcy - "Here's to my favourite Uncle Francis! Keep fighting the good fight"

Peter McClean - "I will raise a goblet and quaff some wine to Life at 20:00 hours on May 1st. Who knows, some wine might even get into my mouth."

Lily Williams - "Cherish the spring bulbs, birds feeding on your lawn, a new baby on the way, a message from a loved one or especially from someone you have not heard from for a long time. Iechyd da!"

Some traditional toasts

May we be alive at this time next year.

There are good ships,
and there are wood ships,
The ships that sail the sea.
But the best ships, are friendships,
And may they always be.

'Sláinte!'

May you find
Rainbows after every storm,
May you remember the laughter
Smiles in the tears

It's easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song.
But the man worth while is the one who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.

May you live to be a hundred
And may I live to sing at your wake!

Here's to lying, stealing, and cheating!
May you lie to save a friend;
May you steal the heart of the one you love;
and may you cheat death.

Here's to your coffin!
May your coffin have six handles of finest silver!
May your coffin be carried by six fair young maids!
And may your coffin be made of finest wood
from a 100-year-old tree,
that I'll go plant tomorrow!

May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
