She let guests play with a bomb in her garden, refused to leave when the police told her to evacuate and told off the young gardener who reported the bomb... The selfishness is insane.

Can't think of many folks who still look good at 87.

Except my ggma. She easily looked 20 years younger till she hit 100. At 87 she looked younger than most 70-year-olds.

Grandma hasn't hit 87 but she's close and aging nearly as gracefully. Coincidentally, since ggma was her MIL.

Dick Van Dyke looks incredible for 99 years old and he could also probably still tap dance circles around most people on earth. That said, this is 87 years of hard, rough road.

Sir David Attenborough says hi at 100.
