The Loose Women star took to Instagram to share photos from the celebrations, which saw them transform their garden at their home in Islington into a rooftop cinema. The family hired an inflatable cinema screen from The Silent Cinema Company, and added deckchairs and fluffy rugs on the grass for everyone to relax on. There were even popcorn boxes and cans of drink for the family to enjoy while watching the film, while Linda had decorated the home with birthday balloons.
