I wouldn't be surprised if he will become the next British man to reach age 112+, though obviously it's way too early for this right now.

Scotland once again has just one member here, as in the list of 3 July 2024
On that list there were also 9 Englishmen, as today
Dulgall entered the list on 14 Aug 2024

RIP
