WATCH: Old? Not me, says sprightly Nell at 107

And even though Nell Cook has just turned an incredible 107 years of age, she insists she still 'doesn't feel old'.

The former factory worker, who lived in Halesowen for 25 years, was the proud recipient of a fantastic fourth card from the Queen to mark her special day.

Miss Cook, who now lives at the Prestwood Nursing Home in Prestwood near Stourbridge, welcomed in her birthday on Saturday with visits from friends and family.

Miss Cook, who is a keen knitter and donates blankets to Mary Stevens Hospice in Stourbridge, said: "I don't feel old. But I don't really know what the secret is!"

Staff at the care home baked her a special knitting-themed cake for her big day.

Miss Cook, who has never been married and has no children, has outlived all of her five siblings - and many of their children too.

The Queen has now sent her four cards - for her 100th, 105th, 106th and 107th birthdays.

She was born Ellen Cook on March 26, 1909 near Digbeth in Birmingham, the daughter of Amelia and Arthur Cook.

The family ran a corner shop that 'did everything', according to Miss Cook.

Miss Cook went straight into work after leaving school aged 14, before later settling into a job in a factory that made cardboard boxes.

She had five brothers and sisters, Edith, Amelia, Ethel, Fred and Arthur, but is the last surviving sibling.

She moved to Prestwood in May after suffering a fall, having previously spent 25 years in Lyttleton House in Halesowen.

Miss Cook said: "Today has been overwhelming.

"I'd like to thank all the staff here for what they do and also those from Lyttleton House who came and brought presents for me."

During her lifetime, Miss Cook said 'everything has changed so much'.

"The way people live their lives now is different to when I was younger.

"Things much so much quicker now."

Miss Cook enjoyed going to the cinema and theatre in her younger days.

She spent many years enjoying the company of fellow members of the Halesowen Over-50s Group, which she joined in the mid 1990s.

While the Second World War was ongoing, she worked in a factory which mad tin helmets and later worked on the manufacture of the Bren light machine gun.
