Meet the super-fit gran who loves going to festivals, running marathons and still goes out to work as a manual labourer - at the age of 81.

Inspirational Anne Leigh, from Hedgerley, first found her passion for running at the age of 40 and has so far taken on 1,800 races - including 70 marathons.

And while many look forward to slowing down in their later years and taking life easy, Anne is doing no such thing, even with her 82nd birthday approaching in March.

Her proud granddaughter Rachel told the Bucks Free Press the octogenarian is "still going strong" and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.

The grandmother-of-seven, happily married to Bernard, 83, goes out to work as a manual labourer helping her son Mike, 56, with things like fitting street lights, clearing houses and "generally being a handy lady".

Rachel said her granny can also often be found in the garden, chopping wood or doing DIY, while Anne and Bernard were also described as the "life and soul of the party" - often the last left standing on the dancefloor at the end of the night.

She also attends outdoor bootcamp fitness classes in Gerrards Cross three or four times a week - and can out-plank all the others, holding it for an impressive two minutes.

Rachel, who is originally from Denham but now lives in Northern Ireland and runs bespoke mural business with her partner, said: "If she's not at bootcamp she is jogging across the local fields and through the town.

"Even throughout lockdown her spirit and energy remained high as she recorded her distance via Strava and, added together with her Run and Fitness club, covered distances of thousands of miles."

Anne also still likes to travel, taking in a solo adventure to India in 2017 and enjoying a fitness and yoga retreat to Ibiza in October last year with her friends - as well as attending festivals.

She enjoyed seeing Jess Glynne at Windsor Racecourse last year.

Explaining why she is so in awe of her gran, Rachel said: "She has always been a high energy, uplifting person with a drive to just keep going.

"Her and my grandad Bernard are always the life and soul of the party... usually the last people on the dance floor too.

"She's truly inspirational that she's still going so strong!"
