A great-great-grandmother from Sutton will be celebrating her 100th birthday tomorrow.

Daisy Ridge, from Belsize Court, Burnell Road, was born on May 28, 1910. One of 12 children born to George and Elizabeth Mew, she is the only surviving sibling.

On Christmas Day, 1935, she married George Ridge and is now mother to Vera, grandmother to Vicky and Stuart, great grandmother to Jenna, Danielle, Alice, Jamie and Bethanie and great-great-grandmother to Jaydon.

Described as a driven and independent woman, Mrs Ridge worked until she was 78, and, with the help of carers, she still manages to live alone.
