DOREEN Fleetwood, a resident at Wyndham House, Minehead, used Skype to video call distant relatives on July 29 – as she celebrated her 103rd birthday.

She was joined by other family and friends and was showered with gifts, flowers, birthday cards and multiple balloons. At tea time, the care home presented Doreen with a birthday cake and all sang for her.

Doreen told her keyworker that she had had a lovely day. When asked what her secret was to reaching 103-years-old, Doreen said: “There’s no secret – just having a good life, a good diet, and looking after yourself.”
