RADIO personality Irene Cranwell is to receive an early 100th birthday present from her neighbours in Chrishall.
The Chrishall Marketeers will be making a presentation to the BBC Radio Cambridgeshire presenter this Saturday.
A spokesman for the marketeers said: "Mrs Cranwell's birthday isn't until February, but we thought we would make a celebratory presentation after the Christmas market.
"She will be the first centenarian of the village, as she is considered to be the oldest regular broadcaster in the country, which is no mean feat."
