Joan Francis celebrated her birthday with her family and friends at a party organised by the care team at Emberbrook Care Home.
When asked what her secret to living such a long life is, Joan said: “Never grumbling about things, playing tennis, and always eating my vegetables, which are probably what’s kept me so strong.”
Joan was born in New Malden and had planned to go to college after leaving school but had to get a job when World War II broke out.
