There's no sign of Britain's oldest cleaner hanging up her Marigolds anytime soon.

Marjorie Rose, 94, is a well known face in Maidstone, having worked as a cleaner at The Mall shopping centre for more than 30 years.

Born in Cornwall in 1923, Marge moved to Kent when she married her husband, Bill.
