EVEN at the age of 100 Doris de Carteret is still committed to helping other people.
Mrs de Carteret (pictured), who celebrates her milestone birthday today, still volunteers at the Russels Day Centre at Les Cotils, as she has done for 22 years.
The former nurse also volunteered for St John Ambulance and was awarded a medal for her 16 years of service.

Keeping busy, she said, was the key to a long life.
