Angela Ottaway, who lives at Dell House in Beccles, was born in 1924 in Kent.

After leaving school at the age of 13, she trained as a shorthand typist and worked at the insurance company General Accident.

But in 1943, she joined the Land Army and worked on farms before working as a cook at Chelsea Barracks.

And now, she has celebrated her 101st birthday.

Mrs Ottaway said: "I had a lovely time and my family came along."
