Drivers asked 'Pip for Phyllis' to help Cayton grandmother celebrate 90th birthday
As a surprise, they put up banners in the garden of her home in Main Road, Cayton, asking drivers to 'Pip for Phyllis'.
Mrs Watson is mum to Barrie and Keith and has grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a telephonist before running a fish delivery business with her late husband Derek. The business Albert Sutton was then run by Barrie until three years ago.

Barrie said: "She is remarkable, she still insists on driving even when her grandchildren want to take her out.
"She ten pin bowls each Monday, plays contract bridge twice a week, bowls twice a week and attends a quiz at indoor bowls club each week."
