The world’s oldest man has d!ed at the age of 112, the Guinness World Records has announced.

John Tinniswood was born in Liverpool, England, on 26 August 1912. He was a lifelong Liverpool FC fan, born just 20 years after the club was founded.

He d!ed on Monday, November 25,  at a care home in Southport, Guinness World Records said.

In a statement, his family said: “His last day was surrounded by music and love.

“John always liked to say thank you. So on his behalf, thanks to all those who cared for him over the years, including his carers at the Hollies Care Home, his GPs, district nurses, occupational therapist and other NHS staff.”

In April 2024, aged 111, he became the world’s oldest living man, following the de@th of 114-year-old Juan Vicente Perez from Venezuela.


Mr Tinniswood’s key advice for staying healthy was to practice moderation. “If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much; if you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually.”

But when asked the secret to his longevity after turning 112 in August, Mr Tinniswood put it all down to “just luck”.

“I can’t think of any special secrets I have,” he said. “I was quite active as a youngster, I did a lot of walking.

“Whether that had something to do with it, I don’t know. But to me, I’m no different [to anyone]. No different at all.

“I just take it in my stride like anything else, why I’ve lived that long I have no idea at all.”

He met his wife, Blodwen, at a dance in Liverpool. They were together for 44 years before Blodwen d!ed in 1986.


Mr. Tinniswood is survived by his daughter Susan, four grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren, and lived to be the fourth-oldest British man in recorded history.

His family added: “John had many fine qualities. He was intelligent, decisive, brave, calm in any crisis, talented at maths, and a great conversationalist.


“John moved to the Hollies rest home just before his 100th birthday and his kindness and enthusiasm for life were an inspiration to the care home staff and his fellow residents.”
