Annie Duplock Wiki – Annie Duplock Biography
Leicestershire’s Annie Duplock stepped into the ring to have knives thrown at her by a professional knife thrower. A 99-year-old woman had a lifelong dream of being the target of a knife thrower during a live circus show. The former circus worker, who will be 100 years old in three months, “really enjoyed” the daring experience.
Greeted by a cheering crowd at the grand finale of the Zippos Circus show, Ms. Duplock braved the blades with the aid of a cane. Mrs. Duplock had convinced her daughter to ask her former boss, circus founder Martin Burton, to let her live her life’s purpose.

The brave almost centenarian worked for the circus 30 years ago putting up posters. “She was 70 years old then and she is 100 years old this August,” Mr Burton said. The Zippos Circus audience was told how Ms. Duplock had seen the show the night before and was then asked to participate as a 100th birthday present from her.
“I always wanted knives thrown at me,” Duplock said. She has also made it clear that she is ready to try again. ‘TONIGHT! Annie Duplock, who is almost 100 years old, has asked to be targeted by the knife thrower at Zippos Circus in Coventry,” Zippos Circus tweeted in a preview of the event.
The nerve-wracking image from the show shows Ms. Duplock standing in front of a whiteboard, surrounded by knives. The professional knife thrower, dressed in a bright red shirt, is seen throwing blades at Ms. Duplock as she gamely stands still.
Of the bravery, the circus later tweeted: ‘At almost 100 years old, Annie Duplock was a fantastic assistant to the knife thrower tonight! We’re in Coventry all weekend. Hope she can join us!’
