Annie turned 100 on Saturday August 25 and was joined by Provost Alan Brown who brought the grand old lady a basket of flowers and lots of good wishes on behalf of the people of East Dunbartonshire.
When asked the inevitable question about the secret to a long life, Annie said simply: “No cigarettes, no alcohol and just plenty of laughter!”
Provost Brown, who is pictured with Annie, added: Annie is a wonderful lady and it was a huge privilege to meet her and to play a small part in her birthday celebrations.”
