"Millie's sense of humour was brilliant."

Sadie Nine

Available for over a year

The funeral for Millie Hopkins, the 107-year-old "Queen of Frinton", will take place on Monday 21 November. Millie sadly passed away last month but led an incredible life! She received hundreds of cards for her 107th birthday after an online appeal, which delighted her and her friends where she lived at Blenheim House Care Home. She was also invited to be the "Queen of Frinton" at the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in the summer. Staff and residents at Blenheim House Care Home are preparing to give Millie a fitting tribute at her funeral.
