- 10 months ago
A grandma has revealed the secret to a long life after she turned 100 - her love of gin.
Sprightly Beatrice Peters celebrated the milestone birthday on Tuesday (June 13) with a drop of her favourite tipple and a telegram from King Charles III.
The former seamstress has lived through 21 prime ministers, five monarchs and survived a world war and a global pandemic.
Surrounded by her family and wearing a birthday badge and a tiara, she said the secret to living a long life is a regular refreshing gin and tonic.
She said: "I think it’s gin – I like gin, but only if there is something with it."
Beatrice, a mother-of-two, said she loved holidays to Ireland and going to Appleby Horse Fair in Cumbria with her late husband Vincent, who died in 1991.
