A GROUP of nonagenarians from Victoria Point's Renaissance Retirement Village have proven you do not need to be young to have a good time.
Residents aged 90 and up gathered for singing, dancing and cake at a luncheon on Thursday.
Staff and families joined in to celebrate the residents' achievements and experiences over the past nine decades.
Residents performed Danny Boy and other classic favourites, while others sat reliving old memories.
Twenty-nine of the Renaissance's 475 residents are over 90 and have lived more than 2600 years between them.
About 24 attended the luncheon.
Among them were Shirley and Colin Henderson, who will celebrate their 70th anniversary in August.
Mrs Henderson fondly recalled the day the pair had been introduced by friends.
"(I thought) he was a good-looking bloke, nice, quiet and he danced well," she said.
"He never proposed - we just knew it was going to happen.
"We still get along so well (and) we're great friends."
Also among the guests was Renaissance's oldest resident Dan Holzapfel, 96.
Growing up in the Redlands, Mr Holzapfel was a significant contributor to the Rotary International program for polio eradication and also contributed to the expansion of Redlands Museum.
In 2018, a park next to Renaissance was named Dan Holzapfel Park.
The over 90s lunch is set to become an annual event.
