Big Kid Circus Cake marks 91 years in the big top for circus star Doreen Enos



Circus star at 91
Here's the cake with which circus star Doreen Enos celebrated her 91st birthday yesterday (May 20). Enos, known to her circus friends as Oma - the German word for grandmother - blew out the candles in the big top on Morecambe seafront where Big Kid Circus is currently in lockdown.

The cake was donated by one of the local residents who have supported the 35-strong circus company while it is unable to open its doors. You can help by watching their show, Cirque de Cuba online here.

And in circus summers gone by.
