Posting today will be delayed until early evening. It is my Mother's birthday and she has reached a century of life in a country that has now become but a shadow of what it once was.
One very proud son will therefore be enjoying himself in the company of 'the best Mum in the world'!
Afterthought: All outstanding comments - and there are a quite a few - I will reply to this evening.....

Wonderful news, happy birthday to your mum WfW
Did she get a 'telegram'...?
Many happy returns to Ma WfW, long may she continue to receive the royal telegrams.
WOW A HUNDRED! Wish her a happy birthday from me too...x
Many happy returns to your mother, and I hope you both enjoy the day.
My best wishes to your mum. If I were her, I would be proud of my son's beliefs.
Wow! She will have seen a few changes in her time. I hope she has a wonderful day. Happy birthday!
Many happy returns to your mother, and congratulations to yourself and the entire family. She is of a most esteemed generation.
Excellent news, WfW. All the best to your Mum from the Ps. :)
Probably a "ton" of decency and wish her well from Oldrightie!
WfW,
Congratulations to your mother !!!
You cannot be far behind.....your mother born under George V and you under George VI
Hope you and your mum had a good day together. What an achievement for her!
To all commenters, many many thanks for your good wishes. Unfortunately, there are not many people who can boast of a parent reaching 100 - and yes it does fill one with pride.
One small point: Centurians no longer receive a telegram, it is a birthday card with a picture of Liz on the front. She also received what was termed a 'telegram', in its own 'presentational' folder, from Iain Duncan Smith.
The card and envelope with the royal seal will both be treasured by me for the rest of my days.
One hopes ones mother enjoys the occasion considerably
I trust she has received the Queen's congratulations - or have those been cut to save money as well?
Congratulations to your mother, a very fortunate lady to have reached such a venerable age.
QE2: Thank you. I believe she did.
TGM: Thanks to you too - also see reply above re ER's greetings.
Dear witterings. please pass on my congratulations to your mother on her first century!!

A (belated) happy birthday to your mum and congratulations to her for reaching three figures.
Hope a good evening was had by all.
A & C: Many thanks to you both.
