On Monday, the world's oldest registered Facebook user got to visit the headquarters of the world's largest social network, where she posed for a picture with founder Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg.
"Honored to meet Florence Detlor, who at 101 years old is the oldest registered Facebook user," Sandberg wrote when she posted the picture. "Thank you for visiting us Florence!"
