Best wishes for Noreen Lloyd as she turns 108
Saturday 15th October 2011, 11:30AM BST.
A Mid Wales woman who was a pioneering farmer during and after World War Two has celebrated her 108th birthday.
Noreen Lloyd, of Llangynog,, received a letter from Prime Minister David Cameron, delivered by Montgomeryshire MP Glyn Davies, during a celebration at her home.
Her niece Susan Gaisford-St Lawrence described her aunt, who never married, as a ‘remarkable woman’.
Mrs Gaisford-St Lawrence said: “She has a terrific life story and she is still going strong at 108. In fact a book was written about her because she was well respected for her expertise in breeding and keeping Dexter cows.”
