And now these Suffolk care home residents have revealed their most important life lessons to some young whippersnappers - in the hope they can learn from their elders' life lessons.

Those living at Spring Lodge care home in Woolverstone, near Ipswich, which is run by Kingsley Healthcare, wrote the advice on paper so their messages on the routes to success and happiness stuck in people's minds.

Peter, 89, kept his advice short and simple by saying: "Never say never," while Eileen, aged 99 and a half, urged people to "take more time over things and don't rush" - with the caveat: "Don't be late for work."
