WHAT a wonderful picture of Mrs Ellen Ashworth on the front page of The Bolton News. How happy she looks and she is obviously very well cared for and well-loved by her family. Looking at her photograph as a young woman, how good-looking she was and her great-grand-daughter Francesca has obviously inherited the genes, as she looks so much like her great-grandmother!

I'm so tired of constantly hearing about the problem of our "ageing population" and there is so much ageism about nowadays. It's heartening to see a lovely piece like this and to hear some positive comments about the older generation.

Well done, Ellen, and all your generation!
