Minnie Liddle hit a massive milestone today (December 12) – and is thought to be one of the oldest people ever to have lived in Doncaster.

Staff at Stainforth’s Oldfield House care home marked Minnie’s big day with a special celebration.

Minnie says the secret of such a lengthy life span is cigarettes and alcohol!

Doncaster's oldest person set to hit 108 - and puts long life down to fags and b...

She quit her cigarette habit at the age of 99 – but still enjoys a daily glass of brandy or Baileys and lived independently until she was 104 before moving into care.

She has amazingly seen four monarchs and 21 different Prime Ministers during her long life.

Minnie has two sons, seven grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and eight great great grandchildren.
