Wales' oldest Poppy Appeal collector turns 100

Wales' oldest Poppy Appeal collector is celebrating his 100th birthday - as this year's centenary appeal gets underway.

Richard Carter, from Anglesey, was born in 1914 - the year World War One started.

He was just four years old when that war ended, but says he still remembers his older brother's homecoming with the 1918 armistice.

Richard himself fought in World War Two as an anti-aircraft gunner with the Royal Artillery.

He told ITV News he continues to collect for the Poppy Appeal because "it's a thread that runs throughout everyone's life - more so these past few years."

Richard also joked he is "fed up with cake at the moment" after a run of birthday celebrations to mark his milestone.
