It has been one of those weeks... I am sorry to announce the passing of the amazing Grace Salter on Friday 18th March at the ripe old age of 106 years and six months. Grace was still helping in our café clearing tables on her 102nd birthday and was undoubtedly the oldest volunteer on the RSPB books and was still making visits with her family until just after Christmas.
She was passionate about the RSPB, the reserve and her beloved Chelsea and was very proud of her second telegram from the Queen on her 105th birthday.
Just try to imagine the astonishing changes that occurred across the planet in those 106 years...
When Grace was born in 1909...
I could go on but suffice to say I loved her loads and I, along with many others will miss her dearly and our thoughts go out to her family and other friends.

And a very touching, affectionate tribute too.
RIP, Grace. What a life, indeed.......and what a lovely photo of her. Her expression is full of joy.
