In pictures: Special birthday message from King Charles as one of Northern Ireland's oldest residents turns 106

There was good reason to celebrate this week when one of Northern Ireland’s oldest residents received a special birthday card from King Charles just days ahead of his coronation.

Jane Bennington turned 106 on Thursday, April 27 and a special delivery from the King helped to give the occasion a royal seal of approval.

The card brings the good wishes from King Charles and his wife Camilla who are to be crowned king and queen on May 6.

Jane who lives in Balmoral View Care Home in Dunmurry, was joined for her birthday celebrations by her nephews and nieces along with staff and friends at the home.
