It was a double celebration at Redcot Care Home in Surrey as two of the people they support celebrated their birthday, including a 100 birthday celebration.
Christine was celebrating her milestone 100 birthday while Zena turned 93 years old on the same day.
Christine and Zena have both been at Redcot for three years, and the care team wanted to make sure their joint birthday was a special day.
Speaking of turning 100, Christine said:
Reaching 100 is quite an achievement, I don’t feel this age at all. I’ve lived a lovely life with a wonderful family. I was born in 1922 which was quite a year. The Wimbledon Tennis Championships began as the Centre Court was officially opened, Tutankhamun’s tomb was discovered and, believe it or not, the BBC was formed.
Zena added:
I was born back in 1929 and I was in good company as it’s the same year that actresses Joan Plowright, Audrey Hepburn, Jane Powell and Grace Kelly were born.
For their birthday celebrations Christine, along with some of her care home friends, went on an outing to Southsea Pier for a fish and chip lunch. This was followed by a garden party at her daughter’s house.
Zena spent her day celebrating with her family.
Jan Daly, Registered Manager at Redcot said:
Christine and Zena are wonderful ladies and are both very popular residents at Redcot. Their birthdays are not all they share as each has a good sense of humour and an infectious smile. We all wanted them to have fabulous birthdays and we're so glad they each enjoyed their day, as they are both special ladies and we wanted to show them how much they means to us.
