Two centenarians were treated to a special birthday party by staff at a Bexhill salon.

The double celebration was held at Sackville Salon in De La Warr Parade on Tuesday (July 24) for the two pensioners, who have known each other for years.

May is 108 and her friend Ruth turned 105 on Wednesday (July 25).

They have been going to have their hair done on Tuesdays with Vicky at the Sackville Salon ever since the salon opened back in 2011.

Vicky said: “We celebrated with a tea party with a cake and refreshments made by Tom at the Sackville Bistro.

“Both ladies have a lot in common. May trained in accounting and Ruth’s husband owned his own accountancy business. Maybe this is the secret to reaching old age.

“All that can be said is they are truly amazing ladies, who have lived though so much in their lives.
