Lots of friends came along to say ‘Hi’, including Nine weather presenter Livinia Nixon, who joined the Friday Lunch boys.

She certainly kept the boys honest!

Postcards hosts Shane Crawford and Lauren Phillips also came to say ‘Happy birthday’ – or maybe they just wanted some of the magnificent cake!

And, of course, who else but our very own Denis Walter to lead the Happy Birthday song?
