Betty Pritchard has finally decided to retire from her job at a community pharmacy after 59 years - and at the age of 91.

She started at Watkin-Davies in Bettws, Newport, in 1965 but had spent the previous 13 years working at another pharmacy.

Mrs Pritchard, from Bassaleg, Newport, regularly took two buses to work and back each day but has now decided to call it a day.

"I'm so lucky to have had this job," she said.
