YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Britain's oldest man has now gone one better, after becoming the oldest man in the world.

Bob Weighton, who was born on 29 March 1908, is expected to be named as the new Guinness World Record-holder following the death of 112-year-old Chitetsu Watanabe in Japan.

Bob will turn 112 next month and can now expect to receive a certificate of his own, although he told Sky's Enda Brady he won't be making a big fuss about the milestone.
