CELEBRATING her 100th birthday in a West Devon care home was Ida Burrow.

Mrs Burrow lived in Spreyton before moving to the Camplehaye Residential Care Home at Lamerton in 2008.

The big day last Tuesday week was celebrated with a traditional afternoon tea, using the best china, and musical entertainment from 'Menchie and Eric', who sang Mrs Burrow's favourite ballads.

Karaoke followed and the event saw residents and visitors enoying dancing.

Mrs Burrow received two special telegrams to mark the big day — one from the Queen and the other from Iain Duncan Smith, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions.
