A resident who lives at Marlow’s Cliveden Manor Care Home recently celebrated his 100th birthday.
Ted Brown, who is originally from Liverpool, celebrated his milestone birthday on December 17, 2019, where he spent it with family and friends.
He moved to Marlow in 2014 with his wife Rene, but she sadly passed away a few months later.
They were married for 64 years.
During a speech at Ted’s party, a family member said: “For us, Ted’s family, what can we say about this remarkable achievement? This remarkable man?
“There aren’t really the words because of this, a special man who stands in our opinion head and shoulders above the rest of us.
