CHATTY Anne Wilkinson keeps everyone on their toes at Hamilton Rest Home in Whitefield.

But considering she has 100 years worth of memories to share, the staff don't mind one bit.

Popular resident Anne celebrated her milestone birthday on Tuesday with a beautiful cake and a party at the Bury New Road home that lasted all afternoon.

Originally from Salford, Anne lived at Polefield Circle in Prestwich before moving to the home three years ago.

In her heyday, she worked as a silver service waitress in an upmarket establishment in Manchester's Deansgate.

She has one son, Ernie, who is in his seventies and lives in Prestwich.

Proprietor of Hamilton Rest Home Mr Eric Walters said: "Slattery's bakery is situated just across the road and they kindly donated a wonderful cake for Anne's party. It was beautifully decorated and featured indoor fireworks. Anne is such a character, she is very chatty and not fussy at all. She doesn't take any medication for any ailments and is a happy little lady."
