A DARLINGTON woman celebrated her 100th birthday at the weekend with a glass or two of her favourite tipple.
Annie Sturgeon, who was 100 on Sunday, celebrated with cousins and friends at Wilton House nursing home.
The centenarian, who has lived in the Cockerton area of the town all her life, never married and worked as a nanny and a housekeeper.
She attended church on Sunday before a tea party at Wilton House.
Nurse Linda Knox said: "She had a lovely day and got a bit tiddly on a couple of glasses of wine and a sherry.
"She's brilliant for her age. She's a really feisty lady - even though she's tiny, only four feet tall."
