Her wish was to receive 100 birthday cards - one for every year of her life, but the response she received from people all over the world was overwhelming, touching her heart and leaving her feeling"spoiled rotten." With the help of local radio and social media, Daphne received more than three times that amount with one card signed by the King and Queen.
“I honestly can’t believe that so many people took the time to wish me a happy birthday, it’s quite remarkable,” said the centenarian from the Isle of Sheppey. “I have been spoiled rotten. I always thought birthdays got less exciting when you got older, but how wrong was I?” Daphne enjoying a performance from an Elvis Presley tribute act who serenaded her with her favourite songs
