Birthdays are more than just cake and candles - they're a collection of moments that can stay with us for years, or even decades to come. Leeds locals have been reflecting on the celebrations that meant the most to them, from unforgettable parties to thoughtful gifts that made a lasting impression.

00:00My favourite birthday gift was a jousting day from my wife.
00:05Yeah, she booked a day's jousting with Night of Middle England down south, so that was lovely.
00:09We went to Warwick and yeah, I got to ride a horse and got to joust.
00:13All the cousins and friends and everybody that you knew from your class as well,
00:17everybody who used to come round.
00:18My 16th birthday, my mum and dad got me tickets to see Liam Gallagher at Nebworth.
00:24That was a good day.
00:25She got me an Oasis book and then I opened it and there were a messaging side saying,
00:32you're off to see Liam Gallagher.
00:34I had a sleepover at my house and ten of my friends were invited.
00:41I can't remember what birthday it was, I think it was like my third or fourth birthday.
00:46I remember my whole family was round and Amelie came and we were dancing on my table in unicorn onesies.
00:53Mine was last year's birthday.
00:56We went to Rhodes, so that was really nice.
00:59So I spent my 60th birthday.
01:01Yes, I know I don't look old enough.
01:05Don't.
01:06I used to have quite big elaborate birthdays back obviously in my teens.
01:11And my mum at that time, I don't know if anyone remembers,
01:14but it used to be like Argos catalogues and stuff.
01:16And I remember picking a laptop and my mum bought that for me.
01:19So that was quite special.
01:20How about you, mum? What's your favourite birthday gift?
01:23I can't really think, to be quite honest.
01:26You've had a lot of them, haven't you?
01:27It's your mummy.
01:28My beloved supermarket.
01:28It's my favourite birthday.
01:28They're on the instructions, but what's my favourite birthday?
01:28Okay turtles are.
01:28But that's OK, I think they were a part of her birthday too...
01:29Just want to be quite bright, though.
01:29I don't know if you're doing anything special.
01:29Oh, the castle!
01:29Oh yes!
01:30Yes!
