A pensioner who has lived in Croxley Green for all of her life has celebrated her 100th birthday.
Margaret Hobbs, who is currently living at Croxley House care home turned 100-years-old on Sunday (July 19).
Margaret originally lived with her parents, Arthur and Elizabeth, on The Green in Croxley.
She said when she was born her name was supposed to be "Ethel Margaret" but when registered, her dad got the names the wrong way round.

She then moved to New Road in Croxley where she lived for the next 95 years and attended school at Yorke Road School.
But she left school at 14 to work at The Sun Printers and stayed there for 47 years.
Margaret said family at church life at All Saints Croxley has always been an "important factor" of her life.
Although she never married, she said she remained close with her two brothers, Frank and Keith and their families.

Margaret said she was "proud" to receive a card from the Queen on her birthday.
