A Norfolk care home resident celebrated her 100th birthday with family, friends and a card from the King and Queen.
Connie Blight, who lives at Dorrington House in Watton, chalked up her century on Saturday, May 11.
"She had a lovely day," said Clare Collinson, activities co-ordinator at the home. "All her family came to see her."
Both King Charles III and Queen Camilla signed her card, which she was thrilled to receive.
Connie, who was born in Leighton Buzzard, in Buckinghamshire, in 1924, was one of five children.
Married twice, she was mother to three children Anne, Pat and Michael.
She served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service and worked in catering throughout her life.
She moved into Dorrington House in 2020. Staff at the home, in Norwich Road, describe her as chatty.
