Relatives and friends joined a Keighley centenarian for her birthday celebrations.

Ella Drasdo attributes her long life to walking everywhere when she was younger. She said: “We would walk from Allerton to Bingley Show and back again – and then we’d go out at night.”

Mrs Drasdo, nee Ineson, was born in Howden Clough, but moved to Fairweather Green, Bradford, at an early age.

She worked in clerical jobs until she married William Drasdo in 1929. He died in 1994. Mrs Drasdo has three children, four grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
