A BISHOP'S Hull resident is preparing for her 100th birthday next week by embracing modern technology.

Jean Kellman is adjusting to the virtual world so she can video call her family and friends on her big day on Easter Monday (April 13).

Jean, who lives at the Manor Care Home, in Bishop's Hull, said: "I feel like the Queen.

"I’ll be having birthday celebrations with all the staff here and I’ll be having a party with my family when everything is back to normal."

Jean was born in Wells in 1920 and became a trained nurse.

She and her late husband Steve had three daughters - Fiona, Heather, who has since died, and Suzanne.

Jean said: ""I still think about Heather.

"I'm very proud of all my children and my grandchildren."

Fiona said: "Jean is and has been a fantastic mother and friend to so many over the past 100 years, and it’s wonderful to be with her on this very special day to say just how proud she makes us feel.

"She is truly an inspiration to all of us."

Carla Bowman, general manager of the home, said: "We’re delighted to be celebrating a truly remarkable woman as she reaches this amazing milestone.

"Jean is such a popular resident who always has an interesting tale to tell, and we look forward to hearing many more as she breaks into her next century."
