Harold has enjoyed keeping active throughout his life, with swimming, cycling, badminton, walking and hiking among his favourite pastimes.
His late wife, Sylvia, shared his love of exploring the countryside, with the couple enjoying holidays and days out across England.
Reflecting on his remarkable longevity, Harold credits staying active and maintaining a positive outlook as important parts of a happy life.
His daughter, Christine Gibbon, said: “He’s been the life and soul of the party, he’s kept himself really fit, and it’s an achievement to get to 107.”
Her sister, Margaret Hart, added: “I’m so proud of him, I mean he’s lived a full life, he’s enjoyed it.”
Carmen Miclea, Home Manager at The Grange Care Home, said: “It was an absolute pleasure to celebrate Harold’s 107th birthday with him and his family.
“He had a wonderful day, and hearing him describe it as the best day of his life made it even more special for everyone involved.
