Centenarian Claire Josephine Norris-Darby is 100

In the Jamaica Observer’s Portland 300 years anniversary feature published on Sunday, May 12, 2024 we incorrectly stated that centenarian Claire Josephine Norris-Darby was 102 years old.

We note that she was born on March 16, 1924 and is now celebrating being 100 years old.

We apologise for this error and any discomfort caused.
