A longstanding Pembrokeshire resident celebrated an extra special birthday last week.
Mary Shaw of Pembroke Dock reached 100 on Friday, November 27th.
The centenarian, who still lives at home, marked her special day with an open house for family and friends.
And the next day 36 members of her family – including several from the USA – commemorated the occasion with a special event at Lamphey Hall.
Mary moved to Pembrokeshire 40 years ago when her late soldier husband George was stationed at Manorbier. After his retirement they decided to make the county their permanent home.
Mary is now the senior member of a five generation family with three daughters and a son, nine grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildrern.
