A DORSET resident who played her part in Second World War military intelligence has celebrated her 100th birthday at a Blandford care home.
Sylvia Spooner was the focus of international attention as family members and friends in the UK, Canada, Australia, The Gambia and the United States joined a Zoom call or sent greetings.
Team members at Colten Care’s Whitecliffe House helped Sylvia welcome 26 Zoom groups for chats and good wishes during her special day.
Born in Streatham, London in 1920, Sylvia, maiden name Blest, was in her late teens when she had a chilling foretaste of the looming trouble in store for the world.
