A woman celebrated her 101st birthday with a trip to her favourite beach - where she had not been for 25 years. Dorothy Cattle used to visit the beach at Bournemouth every day after work.
But after she retired she stopped going - and hadn't been for a quarter of a century. So to mark her 101st birthday, staff at her care home in Broadstone, Dorset, surprised her with a nostalgic trip.
Delighted Dorothy was taken along the pier and even sank her toes into the sand. A team of lifeguards also came to introduce themselves - and they all chatted about their favourite memories of living by the seaside.
