Best friends celebrate turning 103 together on the same day in the same care home

Two best friends in a care home have celebrated reaching their 103rd birthday together having been born on the same day, Grimsby Live reports. Kath Wood and Rennie Box both live at the Homefield House Care Home on Weholme Road in Grimsby and struck up a friendship when they met each other in the home.

Having both lived through historically significant events such as a World War and five monarchs, the women who have both had very long and interesting lives have a lot in common. After fate brought them together, the dynamic duo have their own secrets on how they managed to reach such an old age but mostly credit it to their shared 'love for life'.

It seems the key to a lengthy life is remaining upbeat and happy as Kath revealed she always has a 'smile on my face no matter what the situation'. The OAP who has lived in Grimsby her whole life said: "I don't have any real secret, I just love life and the people in it."
