'21 in 21': Congratulations to all our birthday stars

This is a year like no other and with the restrictions in place for the foreseeable future, the opportunities for families and friends to gather for big birthday celebrations are on ice for now.

We here at the Meath Chronicle didn't want to let another year pass without being able to mark some of these great occasions in some small way.

With '21 in 21', we want to mark the birthdays of all our wonderful young people turning 21 in 2021. So here is this week's birthday boys and girls.

We're also aware of a lot of families with other significant 'roundy' birthdays and anniversaries being celebrated at the same time, so we're happy to accommodate those too.

Amber Baxter, Navan... The biggest Happy Birthday shout out to Amber Baxter who turns 21 on the 21st of March 2021!!! Amber from Dunmoe Navan is in her final year of journalism in DIT. Lots of love from Mam, Dad, and Michael.
Jack Walsh, Dunshaughlin... "Wishing my gorgeous baby boy Jack Walsh from Greenpark, Dunshaughlin a very Happy Birthday!" Jack turned 21 on the 21st February. "Love you loads from mam and dad."
Caoimhe McKeown, Ballivor...Happy 21st Birthday to Caoimhe (Millie) McKeown from Dad, Mam, Rachael, Maeve, Michael and Archie. Enjoy your special day!
Viktorija Lomajeva, Athboy...Happy 21st Birthday Viktorija Lomajeva from Athboy!“On this special day we would like to tell you how special you are and how proud you made us in all you have done and will do in the future, your goals in studying in NUIM, and as an essential worker through all these hard times in Souhan's Filling Station in Trim. “We wish that each day of your life brings you sweet memories and fills your heart with warmth and happiness. Love Mum, Jake, Daimian, William, Kate, Alex & family, Darja & family, Granny & Grandad, Tracey & family, Nancy & all Farrelly family, and all your friends.”

If you have a special someone at home about to get the 'key of the door' let us know about two/three weeks in advance and we'll feature in our '21 in 21' coverage in the paper.

Here's what you need to do:

Email us good quality photo(s) of the birthday star as they are now and of when they were a baby. (We don't want any rows so best tell them what you're up to if sending in!)

Add a little message or a line or two about them and what they're up to. Don't forget to tell us where you're from and add a phone number in case we need to contact you.
