A Glasgow great-granny has celebrated her 100th birthday with a shopping spree and lunch at her favourite lunch spot.
Effie Cameron was raised in the South Side of Glasgow and has remained there until recently having moved to Rashielee Care Home and Day Centre in Erskine.
The grandmother of two and great grandmother of four visited her favourite lunch spot, Wagamama in Silverburn, where she celebrated with her family.
The team at Silverburn were said to have rolled out the red carpet for their special guest this week as the centre's general manager David Pierotti, surprised Effie with a lovely bouquet of flowers.
Effie is a loyal customer at Wagamama with making visits weekly with her niece, Doreen Galbraith, who is 80 years-old.
The pair used to travel by MyBus for their regular catch ups over their favourite chicken noodle dish, but on Monday they were chauffeur driven by Effie’s granddaughter, Gael Redmond, and son Gordon Cameron for a complimentary lunch and a Patisserie Valerie birthday cake.
It’s been a week of celebrations for Effie who turned 100 on March 15, and received a card from His Majesty the King for her milestone year. She also enjoyed a family lunch and party at Rashielee Care Home, topped off by her afternoon surprise at Silverburn on Monday.
Effie said: “I’m not sure about secrets to a long life, perhaps just sheer determination.
“I’ve felt truly spoiled all week with such lovely gifts and surprises from family and loved ones. The treats from Silverburn were the cherry on top of a fantastic week.”
David Pierotti, General Manager of Silverburn, commented: “We recognise our role as a pillar of the local community and we love to hear about the routines and treasured memories that happen under Silverburn’s roof. It was great to arrange a surprise treat for Effie and we hope she had a great day.”
