Irish woman Evelyn Raftery got the birthday present of a lifetime this week when she managed to wangle her way on stage with Bruce Springteen for a waltz.
Evelyn Raftery, originally from Fatima Avenue in Sligo, who turned 89 yesterday, got up on stage with the Boss after he read her daughter’s sign asking would he dance with her mother.
The sprightly 88-year-old clambered up on stage and enjoyed a quick jive with the man himself in Toronto on Tuesday.
The old lady was then being kindly escorted by Bruce to the stairs at the edge of the stage.
What a gent.
Everyone who can get their hands on a ticket to Croke Park will be hoping for the honour of getting up on stage this summer.
Get them signs ready!
