World's oldest man, born same year the Titanic sank, celebrates 112th birthday

John Alfred Tinniswood was declared the oldest living man by Guinness World Records in April. (Guinness World Records via Reuters) John Alfred Tinniswood was born the same year the Titanic sank and New Mexico and Arizona became US states. According to Guinness World Records (GWR), Tinniswood is celebrating the occasion with friends and family at his care home in the seaside town of Southport in the west of England.

Ahead of her birthday, Tinniswood told GWR she felt "no different" turning 112, adding: "I don't feel old, I don't get excited. This is probably the reason for reaching this age. I just get on with it like anything else.'' According to GWR, Tenniswood says her main advice for staying healthy is moderation.

She says she likes listening to Roddy and still manages everyday tasks like getting out of bed and managing her finances without help. "I can't think of any particular secret," she said. I was very active when I was young, I used to walk a lot. But for me, I am no different from others. There is no difference." On what she thinks the world will be like in 112 years, Dennis Wood said: “Good God. Well, I want to say that there should be honesty between different people. "All of them, including our own country, sometimes put on shows."

Tenniswood is four years younger than the oldest woman and oldest living person, 116-year-old Tamiko Itoka of Japan. He won the title last week after the death of 117-year-old American Maria Branias Morera. Tenniswood is also four years shy of the oldest man in history, a title held by Japan's Jiromon Kimura, who lived for 116 years between 1897 and 2013. The oldest person in history, Jean Clement from France, lived 122 years between 1875 and 1997.
