A GREAT-GRAN has revealed her secret to long life as she celebrated her 100th birthday.
Dorothy Roberts - known as Daw was celebrating her landmark birthday today with four generations of her family, as well as the residents of McCarthy Stone retirement home Speakman Court in Altrincham.
Daw will be continuing the celebrations alongside her two children, Sandra and Steven, as well as going out on the Saturday with her five grandchildren to the Drum and Monkey, in Alderley Edge.
And the sprightly centenarian said eating well has played a big part in her longevity. She said: "I do all my own cooking, I buy everything raw and cook it all. I don't buy any readymade foods, probably that's why I'm living."
Daw has also tried to stay active, playing badminton and bowls into her nineties and getting stuck in with her grandkids.
The great-gran, who says she doesn't 'feel any different' despite her grand age, said: "I used to take them swimming. I used to take them tap dancing. I used to do tap-dancing with them.
