Every day is a day worthy of celebrating Home And Away stalwart Ray Meagher if you ask us.
But, Sunday particularly called for celebration of the Summer Bay veteran as he marked his 77th birthday.
It’s no surprise Ray’s Home And Away co-stars jumped at the chance to share well-wishes and messages of love on his special day.
