A British woman will immigrate to New Zealand, a month shy of her 103rd birthday.
Louise Sydes is leaving her rest home in Hawkhurst, after the Kent County Council decided to close it down.
Sydes will move 18,000km away to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Sue and Rex Reardon, in Manly, north of Auckland.
She will arrive on November 26 on a three-year visitor visa, approved by associate immigration minister Kate Wilkinson.
Sydes said she was "thrilled to bits" to be moving to New Zealand.
