A mum of two from Denbighshire has been described as 'unbelievable' after celebrating her 103rd birthday. 

Phyllis Hough was born on September 28, 1919 and last Wednesday celebrated her 103rd birthday with family and friends. 

Mrs Hough, who has lived in Denbighshire for the last 45 years enjoyed a get-together at the Dinorben Arms to celebrate the milestone. 

Phyllis, who lost her husband Jack when he was 90, is the mother of Alison and Valerie, grandmother of Mandy, Jo and Debbie, and great-grandmother to Holly. 

Mr and Mrs Hough, who originated from the Wirral were married 61 years and loved climbing.

The pair scaled mountains and paths across the UK, according to daughter Alison who was full of praise for her mother. 

"She is the kindest woman you could ever wish to meet," she said. 

"She would do anything for anyone, she is just unbelievable.

"She takes everything in her stride and really enjoyed the day. She was very glad to see the whole family."

Phyllis currently lives with Alison and her husband John in Henllan.

Over the last 17 years, she has spent her time between daughters, having two weeks with Alison and John, and two weeks with Valerie and her husband Derek. 

Alison noted her mother had achieved a rather impressive achievement following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. 

"Mum enjoyed her 100th birthday before lockdown and had a message from the Queen. 

"With the passing, mum has now experienced four people on the throne, which is some achievement."
