A LIFE-long Flixton resident celebrates her 100th birthday this weekend.

Wyn Metcalf turns 101 on June 5 and her birthday party is being held at her home at De Brook Lodge care home, Irlam Road,

Flixton, on that day.

Wayne Allen will entertain the guests, including her family, and there will be a buffet and cake. The Deputy Mayor, Cllr Jonathan Coupe, will also be calling in.

Wyn married Albert when she was in her 20s and had one daughter, Winifred. She has two grandchildren and many great grandchildren.

Wyn has lived at De Brook Lodge since February 2012. Before that, she moved in with her daughter, Wyn, in her later years.

She says the secret to her long life is to live stress-free, and to the full, and don’t let anything get you down. She also recommends spending as much time with your family as you can.
