Britain's 'oldest virgin' turns 105

A woman thought to be Britain's oldest virgin has celebrated her 105th birthday - and said the secret to long life is celibacy.

Retired secretary Clara Meadmore said she never wanted a family and happily lived with her cats before moving into care in January this year.

She celebrated her birthday at the Perran Bay nursing home in Truro, Cornwall and along with cards from the Queen and relatives she marked the occasion with a drop of wine.
