Two Yorkshire women are looking forward to receiving telegrams from the Queen as they celebrate their 100th birthdays.

Clare Shetliffe-Smith, of Burley-in-Wharfedale, was born on August 1, 1907.

She is is nine days older than Keighley's Dorothy Langhorne.

Born in Cumbria, she spent most of her life in Otley, leaving school at 13 to work at William Walker's printing firm.

In 2001 she appeared in A Pocketful of Posies, a BBC television documentary on childhood experience in the early 20th century.

Dorothy is also looking forward to her telegram from the Queen, but admitted she "would rather be going backwards" in years.

When asked if she would receive a message from the Queen, Mrs Langhorne said: "I hope so and I'll get one every year after that."

Durham-raised Mrs Langhorne has lived in Haworth and Keighley, where she has spent the majority of her life.

She has one daughter, two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Mrs Langhorne said: "I'm happy because everybody I love is happy."
