A former primary school teacher celebrated her 104th birthday today and explained how she'd managed to live such a long life.
Winnifred Kennan was given cards, presents and cake by her niece Loretta, family friend Mary and the carers at Aaron Grange Care Home in Huyton. Winnifred was born on April 20, 1918. The centenarian was raised by her mum in Southampton with her sister Irene.
The two never met their father, who fought in the First World War and did not come home. As a young girl Winnifred went to the prestigious Notre Dame Catholic College.
