A 105-year-old woman says her secret to a long life is regular napping .

Dora Horsfall, who is from London but now lives in Salisbury , was born on 2 November 1921 – making her one of the country’s oldest Brits.

She has lived through the Second World War , watched Queen Elizabeth II take the throne and seen 24 different prime ministers occupy 10 Downing Street .

"Some of us have short lives, some of us have long lives,” Dora said. "But it's what we do in that time that matters."

Dora has not had the easiest life. She and her brother Jack were sent to West London District boarding school after their father left and the family fell into poverty. At 13, Dora moved to Salisbury before returning to London aged 18, where she met her now-husband Rig.
