Buster Martin blows out the candle of his cake at work
100-year-old told 'take day off'
A man has turned up for work despite being told to take the day off for his 100th birthday.
Buster Martin began cleaning vans for Pimlico Plumbers despite retiring as a market worker three years ago.
Buster Martin said he went back to work because he was bored.
Colleagues at the firm in Lambeth, south London, threw him a surprise party and were treating him to a tour of Chelsea FC's Stamford Bridge ground.
He joined the Army at 15 and served 35 years before joining the Navy.
Mr Martin said the last time he had a party he was in the desert "getting as drunk as a Lord when I was 21". (c. 1928)
He said the secret of his longevity could be due to a pint of bitter every day and daily press ups.
