A former dinner lady who has lived in York all her life has celebrated her 101st birthday surrounded by residents and staff.
Joyce marked the milestone at Ouse View Care Home in Fulford, where residents and staff joined in the celebrations.
Rebekka Richardson, general manager at the home, said: "Celebrating Joyce's 101st birthday has been such a special occasion.
"This is an amazing achievement, and it has been a real privilege to celebrate this milestone with Joyce.
"We wanted to make sure her day was filled with everything she deserves.
"Happy birthday, Joyce!"
Joyce spent her working life as a dinner lady, a role she remembered fondly for the joy she found in being part of children's school days.
Ouse View Care Home, operated by Barchester Healthcare, offers residential and dementia care for 64 residents, including both respite and long-term stays.
The care home is part of one of the UK’s largest care providers.
