Written By: Philip Eno on 06/20/09 at 9:52 am
World War I veteran Henry Allingham is the world's oldest man following the death of a 113-year-old in Japan, Guinness World Records has confirmed.
Mr Allingham, one of only two surviving WWI veterans in the UK and the last surviving founder member of the RAF, was born on 6 June 1896.
He was born in Clapton, London, and now lives at St Dunstan's Centre for blind ex-service personnel near Brighton.
Tomoji Tanabe died in his sleep at his home in southern Japan, aged 113.
Mr Tanabe was named as the world's oldest man in June 2007 and credited his longevity to drinking a daily glass of milk.
