The party was held at the in-store café where local customers enjoyed a slice of the action as they tucked in to Asda’s own custom-made cake, complete with candles.

Steven MacFarlane, store manager at Asda Alloa, said: “Andy Murray is a bit of a national treasure, so we couldn’t let his 30th birthday pass us by without a big celebration!

“The man himself once said ‘I don’t play tournaments to come second best’, and neither do we bake cakes that are second best. I’m glad to see that colleagues and customers alike are joining the party and enjoying this fantastic cake. We wish Andy a very Happy Birthday from everyone here at the store!”
