A 97-year-old has become a viral sensation on Facebook after taking her first selfie.

Michelle Buffini’s sister, who runs The mammy blog, took a picture of her and her grandmother and posted it on the social media site.

The picture has received almost 300,000 ‘Likes’ in less than 24 hours.

This is my Nana Mary Rose Buffini 🙂 She’s 97 and I was trying to teach her about selfies and how you post a pic on fb…
