A RESIDENT at a Leigh nursing home kept the New Year party going a day longer by celebrating his 100th birthday.
Christopher King, of Brooklands Nursing Home, celebrated with champagne, a visit from his family and Southend West MP David Amess.
Lynn Munro, Brooklands’ activities co-ordinator, said: “Chris was a bit overwhelmed.
He had been looking forward to it for weeks.”
