The world's oldest person, French nun Sister Andre, has died at the aged of 118.
Born Lucile Randon in 1904, a decade before the start of World War One, she took the name of Sister Andre when she joined a Catholic charitable order in 1944, a year before the end of World War Two.
She survived two global health crises - Spanish flu in 1918 and, in the last few years, COVID-19.
Speaking as she celebrated her 117th birthday in February 2021, following a health scare, Sister Andre said death did not worry her.
She was the world's oldest living person according to the Gerontology Research Group's World Supercentenarian Rankings List.
