Mr. John Tinniswood sadly passed away peacefully yesterday, 25th November 2024, at the age of 112.
He was the world’s oldest living man.

John Alfred Tinniswood officially obtained the title after he received the sought-after Guinness World Record award in April this year following the death of previous title-holder Juan Vicente Pérez Mora when he died at the age of 114. Being older than 100, he was one of the UK's few "supercentenarians".
Mr Tinniswood died on Monday at a care home in Southport, Merseyside, where he lived. His family said he was "surrounded by music and love". He was born on August 26, 1912, and had previously been the oldest man in the UK, an honour he accepted in 2020 aged 111 years and 224 days old, placing him alongside 115-year-old Ethel May Caterham, the UK's oldest living woman.
RIP Mr. Tinniswood.

Sad news. However, 112 years for a man (and for a woman) is such an admirable age.
Rest in peace.
