A NEWPORT pensioner celebrated her 100th birthday on Tuesday surrounded by generations of her family.
Centenarian Ellen Hobbs welcomed her children, grandsons and two great-granddaughters to her birthday party at Florence Justice Christian Home on Tuesday afternoon.
Staff, family and friends joined the former insurance agent, who was born in Pill, for live music and entertainment.
Mrs Hobbs only moved to the care home in July this year, after living in the Gaer for more than 54 years.
The Strictly Come Dancing fan, who also enjoys music and word puzzles, had three children with husband Charles Hobbs.
On Tuesday she received flowers, presents and a card from the Queen, and last week celebrated with a special afternoon tea at The Parkway Hotel in Cwmbran.
Anne Thomas, Mrs Hobbs’ daughter, said: “It was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed the day.”
