A 100-year-old woman with no relatives nearby has marked her 100th birthday with a touching party put together by the local community.
Maureen Moss marked the milestone occasion at Davidson's House care home in Colinton, Edinburgh on Friday April 7. The centenarian, who became a widow just weeks before her birthday, was showered with gifts from locals after nurses at the home made a plea to recognise her big day.
Care home activities leader Karolina reached out to the community to ask if anyone could send her flowers and cards. Edinburgh Live reports that local residents and schoolchildren responded with reams of birthday cards, and some popped in to join the pensioner for a cup of tea and a slice of chocolate cake.
