At 107 she has lived through two world wars, seen twenty five Prime Ministers in number ten and outlived three monarchs.
Marjorie Hodnett, affectionately known as “Auntie Marj” was born on April 1st 1914. Marj credits her longevity to her genetics as she has centenarians on both sides of her family.
Speaking to the ECHO Marjorie said: "One family member lived until she was 103 so I've outlived her. My father always used to say that 'creaking doors hang the longest' and I think he was right about that one."
