Hannah Stow was delighted with a special performance from the Steeton Male Voice Choir to mark her 100th birthday.
The centenarian was serenaded at the Laurel Bank Nursing Home, in Wilsden, by the choir, of which her son Eric is a member.
Nursing home staff said Mrs Stow had a wonderful sense of humour and could tell many a tale about Bradford over the last century. The great-grandmother -- who worked in a mill as a burler and mender -- was born in Sutton but lived in Wilsden for most of her married life with her husband, Clifford, who was a stalwart of Wilsden Cricket Club.
Mrs Stow said the secrets to her long life were lots of good plain food, a good family and hard work.
