Love is the secret to long and happy life, said a 100-year-old celebrating his birthday today. John Charles marked his milestone at a party with wife Elizabeth, family and friends at his home in Uplands, Swansea.
The centenarian, who still walks unaided and keeps in contact with younger relatives on Facebook, credited his good health and long life to love. He also gave up smoking as a young man and never drank much alcohol.
“The love of my present wife and all the family are the secret to a long life. I have done very well. It’s the love of my son, daughter, my wife and all the family,” he said.
