Gardaí officers in Dublin celebrated an Irish woman's 100th birthday outside her home by treating her to a saxophone performance.

Kathleen Kavanagh, who lives in Cabra, County Dublin, got a special birthday surprise from the gardaí over the weekend.

Thankfully, Kathleen wasn't in trouble with the law, instead, the newly official centenarian was serenaded on the saxophone by the talented Garda Mark of the Garda Band.
