I always get a bit emotional when this happens as I was once the world's youngest person!

Tomiko Itooka: World's oldest person dies aged 116

Ms Itooka lived through two world wars and was credited with a sprightly spirit all her life.

You were once the world's youngest person, ha 😄

May she rip x

I imagine I'd just be sick of life by that point - I'm in my 30s now and would hate to be around people in their 20s, they're so different to me - I imagine she was sick of hanging around people 20/30 years her junior, bless her

I like to think that the world’s oldest person never dies, they just pass the title on.
