Queen sends new card after 110-year-old complains

Oxfordshire's oldest resident has received a new-style birthday card from the Queen - after complaining that she always got the same one.

Catherine Masters, 110, from Stanford-in-the-vale, wrote to the Queen to say she was wearing the same outfit in five of the cards she had received.

She received a surprise visit by Prince William in May 2009 to apologise.



This year's card showed the monarch wearing blue, rather than the yellow outfit Ms Masters objected to.

On opening the card, she said: "Oh look, it's blue.

"That's lovely, that'll do."
