Balcony bash as neighbours sing happy birthday in Lebanon

A coronavirus quarantine in Lebanon didn't stop family and neighbours from celebrating a birthday yesterday.

Standing on their balconies and in windows, neighbours sang 'Happy Birthday' to Jess Younis, who filmed the festivities from her phone.

The 25-year-old arrived from Paris yesterday afternoon and her parents and neighbours decided to surprise her with a cake and a serenade.

"They wanted to surprise me with the birthday cake and I was hearing my name," she told Reuters.
