Upminster girl Violet Herbage celebrated a very special birthday last month.

It was Derham House resident Violet’s 102nd on February 19, and she marked the occasion surrounded by family – including daughters Jean Fentiman and Peggy Coleman, son-in-law Michael Fentiman and granddaughter Linda Mclean.

Violet is from East Ham but arrived in Havering when she moved into the Harwood Hall Lane care home.
