Sylvia had six children and looked after her husband for many years until he died in 2016,

Her daughter, also called Sylvia, said: "She has been a wonderful mother - just the best.

"All our friends were always welcome at home and would have them all in. There was always good food on the table. Even now she asks us all if we are ok and do we need anything!"

In 2017, at the age of 95, Sylvia went on a cruise on the Queen Elizabeth with a couple of her children.

"Mum had a fantastic time and still talks about it all the time. It sure was a holiday we will never forget with her," said her daughter.

She said her mum puts her long life down to good living and "equal amounts of work rest and play".

The family will celebrate Sylvia's birthday with a party at the Three Trees pub in Bletchley.
