Doncaster resident who has lived through two World Wars and Spanish Flu pandemic celebrates 107th birthday
Submitting... She is celebrating her big day with a party for residents at the home. Her granddaughter, Joy Young, of Barnby Dun, is also visiting, but is the only member of the family who can see her because of coronavirus restrictions. Joy said: “She lived in her own bungalow until she was 104 – and she only gave up smoking when she was 99, and she still loves a brandy. "I can’t give her a hug, but there is a kiosk visitors can go into. It’s been a difficult year. I don’t know when the vaccines are going to be done, but I don’t think it will be this side of Christmas.”
