Bridgnorth woman celebrates 102nd birthday and Christmas with friends, family and care home staff
Staff and residents at a West Midlands care home are celebrating not just Christmas but also the 102nd birthday of its oldest resident.
Margaret Blundell turned 102 on Christmas Eve and everyone at Springfield House Care Home celebrated with cake and some Christmas carols.
Margaret was born on December 24, 1923 in Bridgnorth - the year Stanley Baldwin was appointed British Prime Minister and the original Wembley Stadium opened its doors to the public.
She lived in the Worfield area for 55 years and has been a resident at Springfield House in Codsall for eight.
Family including her two daughters visited on her special occasion and it will be a double celebration today with Christmas festivities in full swing.
Senior carer at the home Leanne Clemson said: "Margaret is our oldest resident and has been with us since 2017.
"She likes listening to music and joins in with the other residents who all enjoyed celebrating her birthday yesterday with her family who visited."
