PIC FROM CATERS NEWS - (PICTURED: Sheila and Tommy) - A 116-year-old tortoise could be the UKs oldest pet, after living through two world wars and being passed down through three generations of the same family. Tommy, who is actually a female tortoise, was bought for ¬£1 in 1909 from a London Market, by Margaret Cloonan who kept her as a family pet. The aging pet, who was already ten-years-old when she was bought, has seen six different monarchs come and go, and outlived two of her owners. Tommy has been passed down through three generations of the Cloonan family, and now lives with 57-year-old Sheila Floris and her husband Carlo. SEE CATERS COPY.
