A Harrogate-born care home resident has received a letter from the King after celebrating her 100th birthday yesterday (Wednesday).
Mollie Rippon, who was born in 1924, currently lives at Birchlands Care Home in Haxby.
Having worked in the Post Office her entire life, Mollie moved to York after meeting her husband, Peter.

A mother to one daughter, Denise, she loves to dance and has travelled all over the world.
Activities Coordinator, Tina Fox Pearson:
“Mollie had a little party this morning with her family, daughter Denise and son in law Alan, and friends.
“She has been showered with gifts and cards for her 100th birthday, including one from the King, and a beautiful floral cake.
“This was followed up with a trip to Aroma in Haxby this afternoon with friends.
“All the family and friends of Birchlands would love to wish Mollie a very happy 100th birthday.”
