To celebrate his 60th birthday last month, friends and fellow performers joined entertainer Dave Lynn for a VIP flight on the British Airways i360.
FRIENDS old and new answered the call from Tamzin Plank to toast the trooper with a glass or two of bubbly and enjoy a slice of birthday cake.
Many made the journey down from London to offer their birthday wishes. It was particularly lovely to see Michael Topping, who worked as the duo Dave Lynn & Malitza with Dave in the 1990s and whose health continues to improve following a stroke; Jennifer Scott, looking as fabulous as ever; and 1980s diva, Kelly Wilde.
Stephen Richards, aka Lola Lasagne, marked the occasion with a few choice words delivered 450 feet in the air as storm clouds gathered around the i360 capsule. Never was Dave’s catchphrase “There may be trouble ahead” more relevant!
Once back on firm ground the party moved on to Legends where Drag With No Name, aka Scott Burey, was at the top of his game and everyone danced till the early hours of the morning.
Scott said: “I’ve had the extreme pleasure and honour to have known Dave for almost 25 years, and I consider myself a very lucky person to be able to say so. To lots of people he is the very funny mischievous man on stage that wears ladies clothes, and makes people laugh out loud.
To me, he is the kind, sweet, giving, loving, inspirational soul with the biggest of hearts, who has time for everybody at any given time. One of life’s truest of gentlemen – whom I admire, respect and love a great deal – and I‘m a better person because of him. Happy birthday Miss Lynnus!”
