'They'll clear the road when they see me coming!' Watch Christmas wish come true for 101-year-old as she enjoys dream ride in Rolls-Royce
This is the moment 101-year-old Dorcas Dearne fulfilled a lifelong dream… to go for a ride in a Rolls-Royce.
The retired hospital worker from Walsall, who is a resident at The Cedars nursing home in Albrighton, was asked by carer Lara Blackshaw what her one Christmas wish would be.
Dorcas told her it would be to ride in a Roller, as she was meant to arrive at her wedding to husband Reg in one but, unfortunately, it never happened.
Lara and colleague Chelsea Streete conspired to try and make her wish come true by posting about it online and, by the power of social media, they were inundated with offers.
Their post had more than 1,000 shares on Facebook and there was even a company from Bradford, Yorkshire, who was willing to help.
However it was someone a bit more local - Tina and Richard Johnson from Sedgley - who gave Dorcas her dream trip.
Dorcas’ face was a picture as she made her way out to see the stunning silver car, polished to perfection.
