This is one shot for me to cherish and the last from the series.
Here is the story:
My eldest brother, Joe, reached 75 years this month and that being ¾ of a century I contacted my two other brothers and my sister suggesting we organise a surprise dinner for him. Eventually we decided on a Sunday lunch and having secretly agreed with his (Joe’s) daughter to leave one of two Sundays free for us we agreed for 15th October, a few days following his and his wife’s birthday.
Next problem was how to take him and his wife to the agreed restaurant without giving up our secret. It so happened that 15th October was the feast of Our Lady of Good Health and it is customary for them, us and my sister and husband to visit the church and spend the day in Rabat. It was so nice to see how astonished they were to find out what we had been up too. A great day for us all.
The shot was taken by a waitress with my camera after I had set it to auto.
In the photo, from left to right Tony (my brother) , Joe, me, Doris (John’s wife), Josephine (Tony’s wife), Mary Rose (standing – Joe’s wife), Christine (sitting – my wife), Mary Grace (my sister), John (my brother) and behind him Joe (my sister’s husband)
Many thanks for all your views, comments and favs. Always much appreciated.

superb family shot dione, nice to meet you all and nice too that you have put names to faces :) Your brother John looks just like you ... Not quite as good looking though :)
That's so great you were able to pull off the surprise- and my, I can see the family resemblance between you, your brothers and sister! Great family shot.
