An East Sussex zoo has celebrated a big milestone with a special visit from some of its oldest fans.
Drusillas Park, which is marking its 100th anniversary this year, invited more than 20 local centenarians for a free day out as part of its own centenary celebrations.
The guests, accompanied by family members and carers, enjoyed the full Drusillas experience, including animal encounters and a nostalgic cream tea reminiscent of the park's origins as a tea cottage in 1925.
Cassie Poland, managing director at Drusillas Park, said: "It’s a huge honour to welcome so many centenarians to the Park today.
"Their lives span the same century as Drusillas, and we’re so proud to celebrate with them."
