A Wimbledon resident celebrated her 100th birthday with music and a trip from the Mayor this month.
Hazel Honeyburne lives at Arthur House in Wimbledon Park, which hosted a celebration to commemorate her age.
Mayor of Merton Marsie Skeete attended the event along with family, friends and staff members. A classical singer performed Ms Honeyburne's favourite songs.
Ms Honeyburne was born in Manchester, where she lived with her parents and three sisters. She moved into the care home Arthur Road in February 2012.
Nicholas Kee Mew, Registered Manager, said: “We are delighted to have celebrated Hazel’s 100th birthday here at Arthur House. She is a remarkable woman with a warm smile and is always happy to partake in activities. We are so proud to have thrown her a birthday party to celebrate this milestone.”
Arthur House care home supports people with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
