Harry Spring celebrated his 103rd birthday at Beaumont Park in Bedfordshire this month.
Harry has lived at the Biggleswade nursing home for just over three years. He is the oldest resident at the home and is loved by the team and fellow residents alike who describe him as ‘a true gentleman’
Harry was born in the Bedfordshire village of Eyeworth and then lived in neighbouring Dunton his whole life, where he worked at Dunton Corner Garage. He was engineer in WW2 where he spent the years in Egypt. He has a son Martin, two grandchildren Katie and Daniel, and a great granddaughter Martha.
Home Manager Sharon Lamb said, “Harry is a pleasure to have as one of our residents here at Beaumont Park – he said he didn’t want a lot of fuss for his birthday this year as he has had too many of them – but we had a small celebration and, of course, there was a cake.”
In his spare time Harry loves to read and still enjoys the daily crossword. He loves music and dancing. When asked about his secret for a long and happy life Harry’s advice is never to take your work home with you.
