Lady Alma Kent is 102 years old. She has three older siblings who are still alive and she describes herself as the baby. Her mother and father were 108 & 111 respectively when they died and she puts her longevity down to her family genes.

Lady Alma Kent is well-known throughout Hampstead and London. She only eats fruit & veg, and Quavers crisps. She drinks a glass of rum each night before going to bed because it helps her sleep. She is still very fit & strong and is the eldest woman ever to run the London Marathon.

This StreetMic podcast interview was conducted near a transport hub and is part of series of three. Another interview will hear her talk about being a nurse and what it was like to be captured and mistreated by the Japanese during WW2. 

The final interview will hear her talk about why she has been selling poppies for the Royal British Legion for the last 70 years and what it is like to march past the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. This will be published along with a PODCAST from the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.

A truly amazing series of interviews with Lady Alma Kent and her powerful life journey caused  the interviewer, Wendell Daniel, to become emotional during the interview. 

StreetMic will upload a new episode every Sunday. We may also publish extra podcasts during the week as newsworthy events occur on the streets of London.
