The US village of Oak Park will hold its first Betty White Day to honour the late actress and celebrate her 100th birthday.

Businesses in screen veteran’s Illinois hometown, some nine miles west of downtown Chicago, will pay tribute to White by serving her favourite foods and promoting her passion of animal adoption.
