It was great to meet Ellen Ashton who was celebrating 103 years. She was joined by her two daughters and friends from Laurels care home where she now lives. It seems Ellen has had a very active life and was still living independently up to a couple of years ago.
Mayor with Ellen and her family
Ellen was born in Lambeth, moving just across the border in Southwark for many years but since the care home she was living in Southwark closed she has moved back to to the borough of her birth.
