A century-long life aids in the evolution of wisdom molded by experiences that include, love, laughter, pain, and happiness. Jamaica-born Sidney Grant had made his step along that said line on Friday, December 30, celebrating his 100th birthday. Sidney Grant, who resides in Derby, United Kingdom, held a pub celebration to honor his 100th birthday, which was well-attended by a large number of his friends.
Grant, according to The Derby Telegraph, is reportedly the oldest Jamaican-born citizen of the city.

Friends have reportedly referred to Sidney as “absolutely brilliant” and go by the names “Mr. Grant” or “Granty,” according to the newspaper.
In order to join Grant in celebrating his birthday, a large crowd of people flocked to the Vulcan Arms pub in Normanton, which was decked up in bunting and balloons in the national colors of Jamaica.
Grant also took his special telegram from King Charles III of the United Kingdom and the Queen Consort to the bar to share with the guests.
The event was organized and carried out by the neighborhood. It’s been said that Grant frequented the bar when he was considerably younger.
