Cheers to 85 Years! Candice Brown raises a pint of ‘Lift Off 85’ to celebrate London Luton Airport's 85th Anniversary

Former Great British Bake Off winner-turned-publican Candice Brown celebrated London Luton Airport’s (LLA) latest milestone today as she said ‘cheers to 85 years’ as London’s simplest, friendliest airport.Candice, who owns The Green Man pub locally in Bedfordshire and was a former air stewardess for Monarch Airlines based at LLA, delighted passengers by making a surprise appearance to toast the anniversary. Candice had the honour of pouring the first pint of specially brewed beer, ‘Lift Off 85*’, to mark the momentous occasion. Paying homage to the airport’s roots, Candice recreated the iconic shot of Lorraine Chase at the airport from 1979, who the baker bears an uncanny resemblance to. From its humble beginnings as a municipal aerodrome in 1938, LLA served as a base for the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the war, the airport returned to commercial use and, by the 1960s, was playing a key role in the thriving package holiday business. Now established as one of the UK’s leading and busiest airports, LLA currently supports around 27,000 jobs and flies to over 140 destinations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
