Jacqueline Kennedy was pleasantly surprised two Saturdays ago, when what was to be an evening of dinner between herself and her husband, Winston, turned out to be a festive soirée at the Day-O Plantation in Montego Bay.

Close family and friends made the setting quite cosy, and heaped praises on her for a life lived well!

Winston Kennedy serenades his wife, Jacqueline, with a rendition of the Happy Birthday song at her surprise 70th birthday party.

The evening boasted an excellent meal complemented by the sweet sounds of yesteryear. Paul Hurlock who took them on an enjoyable trip down memory lane! He also had a little help from family friend, Orlando Bailey.
