A PENSIONER celebrated her 100th birthday at the weekend surrounded by her family and friends.
Mary Edmonds, who lives at the George Davis Lodge in Barkingside, partied with balloons and champagne to mark the milestone, which she reached last Tuesday (July 28).
Mary was born in Rainham, Essex, before moving to Barkingside with her late husband Jeff in 1935.
She has lived at the George Davis Lodge for seven years.
She said: “I am pleased to be celebrating my 100th birthday.
"My loving family, good food, walking and my carer Angie have all helped me to celebrate this event.”
