Here's Southampton centenarian Violet Osborne celebrating her birthday - with a bargain bucket from KFC.

The great grandmother, who has lived in West End for 37 years, insisted on ordering her favourite takeaway to mark the special occasion with her nearest and dearest. 

As reported in the Daily Echo, Violet has reached 100 years young with just one operation - thanks to her daily glass of milk.

But she enjoys the occasional treat,  declaring of her £13.99 six piece dinner: "I love KFC!"

Her daughter Wendy Dunford explained: "We asked her what she wanted to do, and she said 'Why don't we get a KFC?" It was either that or a McDonalds Happy Meal."
