A North Shields resident was overjoyed to receive her 100th birthday card from King Charles today, as she celebrated alongside her family, friends and residents at Preston Court.
Elizabeth 'Betty' Wood has had an incredibly interesting life, living through four monarchs, a World War and twenty Prime Ministers - and she still lives independently in a retirement housing complex.
The most important thing to Betty is her family however, and she has been very well supported by them when they have needed to be there for her. Betty has spoken about the best parts of the incredible life she has had and how she is feeling about turning 100.
