It is thought the couple is the second oldest in the UK and this week, they also celebrated 79 years of marriage.

Kathy received a card from King Charles III and the Queen Consort which said: "My wife and I are so pleased to know that you are celebrating your one hundredth birthday.

"This brings our warmest congratulations and heartfelt good wishes on such a special occasion."
