A 77th birthday was held at Prince Arthur, Fleet for Howling Laud on the 16th June. The party also celebrated Howling’s twenty years as Leader of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party.
Howling visited the Prince Arthur in 1999, 20 years ago, and he made the Prince Arthur his local pub in 2005 when he moved to Fleet, 
frequenting 3000 times since.
Stuart Merricks, Prince Arthur Manager presented Howling with an inscribed silver tankard on behalf of JD Wetherspoon’s. Then a birthday cake was delivered to his table and everybody sang “Happy Birthday”, after which he gave a speech and sang “Mack the Knife” to rapturous applause!
