105-year-old Ron celebrated his birthday by dancing to some of his favourite music including the Macarena.

Ron, who lives at Cuffley Manor Care Home in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, also had some cake and enjoyed some wine.

Derek, a close friend of Ron’s gave a speech and reflected on when he first met Ron and shared some memories.

Ron who retired at the age of 63 after working in HM Land Registry and the legal department for his whole working life, also shared some of his own memories and said: “Despite the fact that I have reached 105, I have to say, exercise isn’t something that I have ever really done! Maybe it was the time I spent gardening, that was my secret, to get to 105!”

Marion Wak-Williams, manager at Cuffley Manor added: “It was so lovely to see Ron celebrate his 105th birthday, it’s a fantastic milestone and to see the joy of him celebrating was something very special to witness.”
