A woman who recently celebrated her 102nd birthday has credited staying single and never marrying as the secret to her long life. Cathy Hillock marked the milestone birthday in style at Beechwood Care Home in Wishaw, Lanarkshire, as she revealed her top tips for a long and healthy life.
Staff threw a Roaring '20s, Great Gatsby-themed birthday party for Cathy’s family and friends to mark the occasion, with residents and staff donning their feathered finery for the big day.
Cathy also credited her charity work and balanced diet to reaching 102 years old, but was adamant the most important contributing factor was being single.
