A special birthday celebration for Mary Ann Clifton, known as Rosina, took place at Care UK’s Foxbridge House in Orpington, Kent, on Thursday as the team organised an afternoon tea party for the great-great-grandmother.
Ms Clifton, who was surrounded by friends and even visited by the mayor of the London borough of Bromley, councillor Hannah Gray, received a birthday message from the King and enjoyed a singalong to music from the 1920s, 30s and 40s.
She encouraged a midday “tipple” when asked the key to a long, happy life.
“(It’s) never done me any harm,” she said.
“Work hard but party harder – a bit of hard work won’t hurt you.”
Ms Clifton was born on March 16 1915 in Lambeth, south London, and after finishing school, followed her passion for fashion. happy birthday grandma gif
