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