Britain's oldest person dies
Florence Reeves, who at the age of 111 was believed to be Britain’s oldest person, has just died, her MP David Amess, announced today.
By coincidence, the news of Mrs Reeves’s death came only a few hours after the announcement of the death of Dutchwoman Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper, aged 115, who was recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the “oldest person”.
