The world’s oldest man has died at the age of 112, the Guinness World Records has announced.
John Tinniswood was born in Liverpool on 26 August 1912, the year the Titanic sank.
He died on Monday at a care home in Southport, Guinness World Records said.
“His last day was surrounded by music and love,” his family said in a statement.
In April 2024, aged 111, he became the world’s oldest living man, following the death of 114-year-old Juan Vicente Perez from Venezuela.
Mr Tinniswood’s key advice for staying healthy was to practice moderation. “If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much; if you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually.”
He was a lifelong Liverpool FC fan, born just 20 years after the club was founded.
