AN EASTFIELD man was delighted by a surprise birthday message from the office of The Prince of Wales.
World War Two veteran Bob Cass, MM, of Westway, celebrated his 90th birthday last week. Enid Bowden, an old friend who shares a passion for English sheepdogs with Mr Cass, had written to Prince Charles informing him of his upcoming birthday.
“I can’t see very well, so at first I thought it must have been a belated birthday card from someone,” said Mr Cass.
“My neighbour reads my letters for me, so I was very surprised when I found out who it was from. I had no idea my friend had written to the Prince to tell him about me.”
As well as the letter, Mr Cass also received a photograph of Prince Charles, which was taken to commemorate his own 60th birthday.
