We all love a good celebration; a chance to get our glad-rags on, catch up with friends and show off our best dance moves. And Brits find plenty of excuses to throw a big bash, too, but which ones are our favourites?

In a lifetime of celebrations it’s really the weddings that stick with us, a new study has revealed. A survey of 1,000 over-50s showed that a third believe that their wedding day was the best celebration of their lives, followed by a friend’s nuptials.

The survey of 1,000 older Brits by Regent Seven Seas Cruises also revealed that the ‘big 5-0’ was the best milestone birthday bash, ahead of our 21st.

A spokesperson from Regent Seven Seas Cruises, who are celebrating their 25th Anniversary, said: “It’s really no surprise that weddings are the country’s favourite reason to celebrate.

“They provide everything you could ask for: the spectacle, the location, the company and wonderful cuisine.”

Given the opportunity to host a star-studded gathering, participants in the study would want a mix of the Hollywood elite, the Royal family and ‘national treasures’.

Thirty eight per cent would welcome a visit from Dame Judi Dench, closely followed by Joanna Lumley and Dame Helen Mirren.

“For this milestone anniversary, the ultra-luxury, all-inclusive line is offering up to 25% off selected voyages, exploring destinations including the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, South America, Asia, Alaska and more.”
