A CROSSWORD queen marked her 100th birthday by taking on another brainteaser.
Bunny Honeybun, who lives at Ironside Walk in Manningtree, celebrated her centenary on Wednesday.
The former Post Office manager, who has been deaf for more than 30 years, said: “I am happy with my life and don’t feel any different being 100.
“I will never give up enjoying every day and would quite happily live for another 50 years.
“I do a cryptic crossword every day to keep my mind active and a lot of reading. The residents at Ironside Walk call me the Crossword Queen.”
Bunny was named Violet when she was born in 1915 in Erith, Kent, as the seventh of eight children.
In 1938, she married Henry, a volunteer in the Grenadier Guards and a London bus driver, and that was when she took the nickname Bunny.
Unfortunately, Henry died on their wedding anniversary in 1976, and Bunny has never remarried.
Bunny settled in Kirby Cross in 1981 and became very active in the community before moving on to Clacton, and she has been at Ironside Walk for seven years.
