Philip Dunne MP said: "I was delighted to visit Lucy Worboys to congratulate her on this remarkable achievement. She has worked for every Conservative MP representing Ludlow since the end of the Second World War. Several of my predecessors have stayed in her house in Low Town, including Sir Jasper Moore.

Her selfless work for the Conservatives is an inspiration. I am very lucky that she is still willing to help where she can."
