A former RAF sergeant living at a Hathersage home celebrated her 105th birthday with an intimate party.

Biddy Hilton lives at MHA Moorland House and celebrated her birthday with her close family including her daughter Marilyn and son John.

Biddy was born in Essex and was a sergeant in the Royal Air Force Bomber Command during the second World War and later worked as a shorthand typist.

After the war she settled in Bakewell and has been living at MHA Moorland House for nine years.

The kitchen team at the home prepared a birthday cake for the family to enjoy.

Speaking after the celebrations Marilyn said:
“The home put in a lot of effort in making sure my mum’s birthday was celebrated.

“It was nice for her to have her family around to celebrate her big day.

“All the staff came in to wish her a happy birthday and it was very nice to see.

“Our mum is looked after really well at MHA Moorland House, and she is definitely in really good shape and health for her age.

“We had a great time celebrating her birthday and really appreciate what was arranged for her.”
