Edna Clayton didn't even receive her card from the Queen last January due to an error which meant the Glasgow pensioner wasn't on the system.
After hearing the news Hector House Care Home, where Edna is a resident, launched an appeal for locals to send cards ahead of her 101st birthday this month in a bid to make this year's celebrations extra special.

Edna - who says she's never had a birthday party - is now set to mark the milestone on January 31 with a complimentary boogie bus tour around her old hometown.
Angela told the Record: "Edna came in to the care home in August 2021 and we noticed her date of birth straight away. We were all excited to be getting a 100-year-old in.
"One of the first things I asked her was about what she did for her birthday - but she said she did nothing.
"Her neighbours did a whip round and got her a new television but she couldn't go out because we were in lockdown.

Floods of cards and presents since have been coming through the door since Angela launched the appeal at the weekend.
She said: "At first I was going
