The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A former Moulton Seas End farmer now living in Long Sutton celebrated his 100th birthday on July 31.
Jack Clayton remembers his early days working three horses on a single line and ploughing “an acre a day” starting at 5 o’clock in the morning.
He has seen a great deal of change in agriculture and farming over his life and eventually had a red tractor to help with the workload.
Fellow residents at Bancroft Nursing Home joined Jack and his family and friends to celebrate his landmark birthday.
A staff member said: “He was very proud to receive his telegram and card from The Queen, which had been looking forward to for several weeks.”
