CHOCOHOLIC and champion resident of a Leigh old folks home, Ida Molyneux, celebrates her105th birthday on Friday!
And to celebrate further, this former subject of Queen Victoria, and five other monarchs, has taken up a new hobby: she's now Queen of the Karaoke.
Sprightly Ida, of Hourigan House, is a self-confessed chocolate addict and mad keen piano player who was widowed in the First World War, and has now become addicted to keeping fellow residents at the home entertained with karaoke renditions of favourite songs of more than seven decades. Take it away Ida!
