ADA SPELLS OUT HER 100TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

It was a birthday party that spelled a celebration for Scrabble enthusiast Ada Gregory.The resident of Harbour House in Portreath marked her century with a special get-together for her family and friends.

Ada, born in Leicestershire and one of eight children, moved to Cornwall in the 1960s and settled into her home at Bridge Moor.

Over the next few decades she threw herself into village life, becoming an active member of St Mary's Church and a keen member of the choir. She moved into Harbour House two years ago.

She has two surviving sons, eight grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

"Her interests include reading and she loves a good game of Scrabble," said her granddaughter Sandra Hogan.
