Ethel Caterham, 115, Awarded World’s Oldest Person Trophy

On 30 May, Ethel Caterham – the world’s oldest living person – received the LongeviQuest World’s Oldest Person trophy in recognition of the aforementioned title. Mrs. Caterham was presented with the trophy at a special afternoon tea by the manager of her care home on our behalf. She also received a tin of her favourite ‘Turkish delight’ to enjoy.

Mrs. Caterham is said to be very touched by, and appreciative of all the wishes and congratulations she has received since gaining her new title, a title she is extremely proud of.

Born on 21 August 1909 in Shipton Bellinger, UK, Mrs. Caterham currently lives in Lightwater, Surrey. Having being the UK’s oldest person since January 2022, she gained the title of World’s Oldest Person after the passing of 116-year-old Inah Canabarro Lucas of Brazil on 30 April. She is the first British person to hold the title since 1987.

In addition to being the World’s Oldest Person, Mrs. Caterham is also the last surviving person who was born in the 1900s decade and the UK’s Oldest Ever Person.
