John, 73, said his mother is a cheerful woman.

He said: "She never expected to live this long."

John put his mother’s longevity down to her ‘steady’ way of life.

"She had no unpleasantness at home or anything like that so I’d put it down to that."

He added: "The day was very nice. We really enjoyed it and there were quite a lot of people too so it was a very pleasant day."
