Bob Weighton was born in the city in 1908 and spent his working life as a marine engineer.
He's lived through the reign of five monarchs and seen 25 Prime Ministers come and go from 10 Downing Street.

He spends his time making furniture and writing for a local magazine.
He said he asked not to receive a royal birthday card because "I do not see why the state should pay for the Queen to send out all these things. It's not a personal thing."
