Ada Daniel is believed to be the 65th oldest person in the UK. Staff at her nursing home surprised her with hundreds of cards at her intimate birthday party.

The Briton was born on June 1, 1915, in the midst of the turmoil of the First World War. She saw 23 prime ministers pass in England, five monarchs and survived many wars and two pandemics. The nursing home where he lives celebrated a nice birthday with afternoon tea, a cake and colorful balloons.
