A WOMAN has reached her 101st birthday fuelled by her favourite meal -- a jam butty and a cup of tea!

Elizabeth Gregson celebrated the milestone with friends and staff at Springhill Nursing Home, Accrington.

Elizabeth, who enjoys singing and used to play the harmonica, never married, but has a niece and a nephew.

She worked in hospitals in a variety of jobs to help others.

Staff nurse Janet Fletcher said: "She's fantastic for her age."
