Margaret Reid had a birthday party fit for a queen yesterday — although she is still waiting on her letter from the King.
When asked how she felt about becoming one of Queenstown’s rare centenarians, she replied: "I can’t believe it, but I feel all right."
Mrs Reid celebrated her 100th birthday at the Lake Wakatipu Care Centre with a high tea, surrounded by family, friends and fellow residents, surprised by all the fuss.
