World Says Goodbye To Its Oldest Man John Tinniswood, Who Died Aged 112
Born in Liverpool in 1912 -- the year when the Titanic ship sank -- Tinniswood had lived through both the World Wars. He had told Guinness World Records the secret to his longevity was 'pure luck'. "You either live long or you live short, and you can't do much about it," he was quoted as saying.
