Irene Rawle stepped back in time to the roaring Twenties to mark her 100th birthday.
And she really looked the part for her big bash, wearing a Charleston costume, complete with ostrich feather headband and cigarette holder.
Mrs Rawle, who lives at the Catherine Court home in Ness Road, Shoebury, spent her 20s surrounded by flappers, fashionable young women who danced the Charleston.
She marked her centenary with friends and family, including her son Adrian who flew in from Hong Kong.
