A great-grandmother is believed to be the oldest member of the social networking website Facebook at the age of 102.
Ivy Bean has only been using the website for a few days, but already has a number of friends and has received messages from across the world.
She had never even used a keyboard until staff at the home, where she lives, introduced her to the Internet recently. "I didn't know how to use a computer before this week. Things change. You just have to keep on going," she said.
Ivy, who lived independently until she was 92, won a gold medal on Thursday at an over-75 Olympics, which featured hoop throwing and walking frame races at her home.
Her daughter, Sandra Logan (60), said, "My mum never ceases to amaze me, whatever she does. I am amazed. She is having a second youth. As far as we know, my mum is the oldest person on Facebook. Before her, the oldest person was 97."
Susan added, "When my mum was about 80, she used to go cleaning and shopping for someone she called an 'old lady' â who was younger than her."
