A CENTENARIAN enjoyed a celebratory cuppa with a chief constable.

Isobel Walker, widow of a detective inspector, had tea with Cleveland Chief Constable Sean Price - just 48 hours ahead of her milestone birthday yesterday.

Her husband, Det Insp Percy Walker, worked for Middlesbrough Police in the Fifties and Sixties when he retired and opened a garden centre at Marton, Middlesbrough. He died in 1967, aged 72.

Mrs Walker, who lives in East Cleveland said being among police officers once again, brought back happy memories.
