Veteran British war correspondent Clare Hollingworth, who broke the story that the World War II had begun, listens to British Consul General Andrew Seaton (L) while celebrating her 100 birthday at a party at the Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC) in Hong Kong on October 10, 2011. The centenarian was joined by about 150 journalists and friends at a party at the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents' Club (FCC), where she has been a regular in the past three decades since moving to the city in 1981. The veteran journalist, who has been a witness to war's horrors in places like Vietnam, Algeria, the Middle East, India and Pakistan, is best remembered for her scoop on the World War II in 1939 when she was just a rookie reporter.
