A GREAT-GREAT grandmother has celebrated her centenary surrounded by family.

Ethel May Gillvray, known to many as Ciss, at the Home Calvert home in Bentley, saw in 100 years with a huge cake, dancers and a singer.

She spent most of her life living in Carr Hill Road, Balby, and was well known for helping people who lived near her and even worked as an usherette at a cinema.

Her family wanted to thank the home for its support and looking after Ethel since she moved there in 2004.
