Helena Jones from Brecon's contribution to Welsh life will be acknowledged at this year's national Eisteddfod in Anglesey when she will be accepted to the Gorsedd.
Helena will be 101 in August and last year she was thought to be the oldest person to ever compete on the stage at the National Eisteddfod of Wales, which was held in Abergavenny.
