Cafe staff delighted by visit from Billy Connolly on his 80th birthday

Legendary comedian Billy Connolly visited one of his favourite local cafes on his 80th birthday.

The Big Yin chose to pop into Jessie Biscuit in Milngavie on Thursday as part of the celebrations for his monumental birthday. 

Billy was spotted there earlier this month and is known to be a regular at the Station Road cafe.

It is thought that the actor loves the cafe so much because of its name, which happened to be a nickname he was given when he was younger. 

Staff were delighted to welcome Billy on his special day, and shared the meeting on social media. 

They wrote: "A special day for a special man.

"Thank you for choosing to come back to Jessie biscuit to celebrate your 80th birthday.

"From everyone at Jessie Biscuit, a huge happy birthday Sir Billy Connolly."
