ONE of Britain’s oldest women has celebrated her 107th birthday after beating coronaviru­s.

Jenny Butler celebrated her big day with son Ray, 85, and enjoyed a special treat at her care home.

Staff made it a day to remember, with balloons, a cake and presents including flowers, toiletries, socks and a blanket.

A spokeswoma­n said: “Jenny is a wonderful woman with a great sense of humour.

“She is also partial to a glass of cherry brandy.

“She was overwhelme­d with the amount of presents and very thankful to everyone for making her birthday special.”

Jenny has lived at the Avondene care home, in Christchur­ch, Dorset, for two years.
