A BRADFORD woman celebrated a century up on Sunday.

Kathleen Atkinson, who lives at Brookfield Care Home, Nab Wood but originally comes from Bingley, marked the occasion with a party which involved cake, flowers and family.

The team at Brookfield helped to cater for the special event and granddaughter, Donna Atkinson, wanted to thank them for all their help.

Mrs Atkinson has two sons, three grandchildren and a total of five great grandchildren.

Her daughter-in-law, Felicity Atkinson, said: "She lived an idyllic childhood and was involved with church and Sunday school."

The 100-year-old met and married Bob at St Luke's Church in East Morton.

When Mrs Atkinson had more spare time in her life she helped out with old peoples' welfare in Bingley and a charity for the blind.
