A woman who has lived through two world wars, 21 prime ministers and who has just celebrated her 102nd birthday puts her longevity down to "eating no veg".Mary Doherty (pictured, on the left), who lives at Urmston Cottage care home in Greater Manchester, said the only vegetables she eats are potatoes, peas and onions.
Mary used to work in her family's bakery and loves good home cooking. Her friend Maggie Redmond (photo, on the right), also a resident at the Cottage, will be celebrating her 102nd birthday in June.
When asked what she would like as a suitable present, Maggie replied, "a Chippendale".
