Great-grandad, 111, is now the world's oldest man

A great-grandfather from Merseyside has become the world's oldest man.

John Tinniswood, who is 111 years and 223 days old, puts his longevity down to a fish and chips on a Friday and having hiked regularly when he was young.

Mr Tinniswood, who now lives in a care home in Southport, advises "exercising the mind" and "moderation".

The previous title-holder, Juan Vicente Pérez Mora of Venezuela, died aged 114 on Tuesday.
