UK's Oldest Tweeter Dies!!

**Viv** · 28 July 2010, 11:55

Britain's oldest 'Tweeter' has died. Ivy Bean was 104 - and had been updating Twitter from her Bradford nursing home for around a year.

WOW!!

she's a perfect example to most other older people that the world is better with the internet, and it's not just about peadophiles.

rest in tweet.

I loved Ivy. I have been following for about a year now I think.
The residential home she was living at was incredible. They do so much for everyone there. Just for Ivy, they organised for her to meet her all time favourite Peter Andre, and he stayed in touch and spoke to her loads. He even sent flowers to her in hospital last week and spoke to her everyday on the phone! What a gent.
Ivy followed me on twitter too, what a privilege!

I saw the tweets for the past few days from that other woman at the home, Pat, I do think it was.
Ivy was a really nice, sweet lady, and Peter did so much for her. RIP.

Never followed her, but that's amazing. I wish more older people got on the Internet; they'd soon see how useful it is.
