Inspired by the largest families thread. How old is the oldest person you know/ have known? In my extended family and husband's family a fair few people lived into their nineties. My Grandad turned 95 last week and I think he's the oldest, great grandkids all at school now! Beamed all the way through his birthday celebrations, it was so lovely to see!

@Empress13 presumably that’s the age they made it to!?! 🤦‍♀️

Grandparents all made it into their 90s. I also knew my great grandfather who made it to 90 born in 1896.

MIL is 93 and still living independently.

No one in the family has made 100…..yet!

Must say these people and their stories are making me smile 😊

How is there only 4 years between dad and gran?

Because they didn't die on the same day 😳

A distant relative of mine live to be 102, he was a Fellow at a Cambridge college, and after his wife died he took rooms in the college, and his meals were brought over from the dining hall. He was a terrible flirt!
