Great grandmother who has lived through two world wars, 20 Prime Ministers and four monarchs celebrates 105th birthday

A great-grandmother who lived almost totally independently until just a few months ago has celebrated her 105th birthday. Winifred Thomas who turned 105-years-old on June 7 2022 celebrated the milestone in Regency House Care Home in Cardiff.

The great-grandmother who worked as an administrator for Gwent Police before retiring spent her early years in Canton before moving to Penhill Road, Pontcanna, spent the day celebrating with her closest family members. But one bash is not enough for such a milestone, with the family looking forward to a larger party on the weekend.

Mrs Thomas, whose maiden name was Hughes, was born in 1917 near Tonypandy before her family moved to Cardiff a year later. She attended Canton High School.
