A Haltwhistle woman celebrated her 96th birthday with friends.
Doreen Harrison marked her birthday, October 15, at the Haltwhistle Partnership drop-in session.
A professional cake-maker-turned-retiree, Anne Mitchinson, presented her with a birthday cake.
Mrs Harrison was born in 1928, nearly 11 years before the start of WWII.
In her professional career, she was a model and manager of a Haltwhistle dress shop, and her late husband was a local policeman.
