Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon continued engagements in Britain and abroad for nearly fifty years, supporting hundreds of organizations and maintaining longstanding regimental connections. Clarence House became her London home, while she restored the Castle of Mey in northern Scotland and spent part of each year there. The castle and estate were placed in a trust during her lifetime. On 1 August 2001, Elizabeth had a blood transfusion for anaemia after suffering from mild heat exhaustion, though she was well enough to make her traditional appearance outside Clarence House three days later to celebrate her 101st birthday. On 13 February 2002, Elizabeth fell and cut her arm in her sitting room at Sandringham House; an ambulance and doctor were called, and the wound was dressed. On 5 March 2002, Elizabeth attended the luncheon of the annual lawn party of the Eton Beagles and watched the Cheltenham Races on television; however, her health began to deteriorate precipitously during her last weeks, after she retreated to Royal Lodge for the final time. Elizabeth died at 3:15 pm on 30 March 2002 at Royal Lodge, Windsor, aged 101. Her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, was by her side. She had been suffering from a chest cold since Christmas 2001. At 101 years and 238 days old she was the longest-living member of the British royal family at the time of her death, and the first member of the family to live past the age of 100. Her surviving sister-in-law, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, exceeded that, dying at the age of 102 on 29 October 2004.
