Vale MP Alun Cairns met with two Barry centennials this week to wish them both a happy birthday. On Gladstone Road, Eva Tyrell celebrated her 105th birthday with her large extended family visiting from Warrington, whilst at Springbank Nursing Home Marjorie Tiller celebrated her 100th birthday with family and friends.
Mr Cairns said: “It was a pleasure to meet both Eva and Marjorie. Both families put a great deal of effort into organising such a wonderful day. I asked them both what the secret to a long life was and both Marjorie and Eva said that walking, meeting people and a close family was the key to a long life.”
