Alan Verschat, a resident of Shanklin on the Isle of Wight, celebrated his 100th birthday in an unusual way — a surprise camping trip. The event took place on April 25 at the Retro Staycations site near Ryde.

A convoy of campers gathered in his honor, along with musical performances. Participants included family, friends, and members of the Wight Campers community. The Retro Staycations campsite recently won a gold award at the Red Funnel Isle of Wight Tourism Awards.
