MIDDLESEX STREET RESIDENT MARKS HIS 100TH BIRTHDAY IN STYLE
Centenarian celebrates
IT was a case of Mannie, Mannie happy
returns for one Middlesex Street resident
who brought in his 100th birthday in style
last week with well wishes from his sporting
and political heroes.
Mannie Blankett turned 100 on 18 October,
celebrating with parties all over Portsoken,
starting with a lavish affair at the Dorsett City
Hotel in Aldgate, followed by an afternoon
of singing and dancing with his friends at
community centre Toynbee Hall.
The youngest of six children to Polish
immigrants, Mannie was born and raised in
the East End, and trained to be a hairdresser
before going into the family’s furrier business
in the West End and spending several summers
as a lifeguard for lidos around London.
Speaking with Spitalfields Life last year
Mannie said that after a stint in the armed
forces during World War II and then the Peace
Movement in the 1960s, he returned to the
East End and has been living in Petticoat Lane
for the last 20 years.
The birthday boy was delighted to receive
his customary card from the Queen, as well as
surprise well wishes from Tottenham Hotspur
coach Mauricio Pochettino and a personal
address from Jeremy Corbyn.
Portsoken councillor Jason Pritchard
presented a video message from the Labour
leader during the party at Toynbee Hall, which
Mannie attends three times a week for activities
and social events. It was a packed house for
the community centre’s first 100th birthday
party, with around 30 regulars turning up to
congratulate Mannie on the milestone and
indulge in one of the centre’s most popular
activities; a group singalong.
The man of the hour was in high spirits
despite a late night celebrating with City
dignitaries, local councillors and Lord Mayor
Dr Andrew Parmley.
Achievement
Portsoken councillor John Fletcher said:
“Seeing Mannie surrounded by family, special
friends and City dignitaries symbolised for me
the unique way the community of the ward
of Portsoken and the City come together to
celebrate each other’s achievements…..and
what an achievement.
“We are all immensely proud to have Mannie
amongst us, still making his way round under
his own steam, with time for everyone.”
