Woman who has just turned 109 says she has a bacon sandwich every day

Winifred Parker recently celebrated her birthday surrounded by five generations of her family at a care home in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. Winnie is the oldest resident at Orders of St John Care Trust (OSJCT), a charity which runs 60 care homes across the UK.
