A woman celebrating a milestone birthday has sent Twitter users into a frenzy over her very youthful looks. 

Adam Mark Oliver from Brentwood, Essex shared a heartwarming snap his postwoman mother had taken while on her rounds on Twitter, explaining that she’d been delivering a very special piece of mail.

‘My mum is a postwoman and today she delivered this lady’s telegram from the queen for being 100 years old,’ he explained. 

‘When my mum asked if she could take a picture & post it online, she asked will the whole world see it? She was told yes so she said, “ooh yes put it on!”. How sweet.’ 

Adam’s tweet of the unnamed woman has been liked more than 17,000 times and quickly started trending on Twitter. 

People could not believe the unnamed woman was turning 100 and were amazed by her wrinkle-free complexion, with one commenting: ‘I don’t look that good at 38’.

The Queen has a special anniversaries officer who helps send out cards on birthdays and dates such as diamond wedding anniversaries.

In recent years, demand for her 100th birthday telegrams have been soaring because of the ageing population.  

The DWP Centenarian team, based in Newcastle upon Tyne, contacts people approaching their 100th, 105th and every subsequent birthday who are in receipt of State Pension.

Those not in receipt of State Benefits can make a direct application to Buckingham Palace to receive a celebration card.  

Twitter users were bowled over when they learned the woman in the picture was 100-years-old
