Barmaid celebrates 100th birthday

A barmaid has celebrated her 100th birthday.

''I never thought I would be here this long, but I've loved every minute of it.''

Dolly Saville, who is thought be the oldest barmaid in the world, recently celebrated the landmark birthday and revealed she has no plans to retire from The Red Lion hotel in Buckinghamshire, south east England where she's been working for over seventy years.

Mrs Saville began working at the hotel when she was just 26-years-old and the bar where she's been serving drinks for 74 years has now been named 'Dolly's' in her honour.

She told The Times newspaper: ''I love my work and I love the people, it keeps me going around and it's better than sitting around.

''I never thought I would be here this long, but I've loved every minute of it.''
