‘He’s always smiling and is so cheerful,’ says Glenis, as she describes her 104-year-old dad Bob Phillips.

Born on March 17, 1915, as Robert Phillips, Bob is a ‘geordie boy’ who grew up in Sunderland with his mum Marion, dad Robert and two sisters.

‘He went to school in Chester-Le-Street,’ says Bob’s daughter Glenis.
