Vinegar Tits 606 Posted June 20, 2009 My sources tell me he is very ill and has not got much longer to live, possibily only a couple of months if not weeks. Who, Henry Allingham? Going on the last video from BBC it wouldn't surprise me, but what sources? I have to say I thought he looked very frail and rather ill in the most recent television pictures of him. He seems to have really aged in the last three years or so. Good luck to him though - I hope he goes on and on. An incredible man and a true hero. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 28, 2009 Seeing as Canadian Paul is busy at the moment, I'll have to be the one who posts that Italian super centenarian Lucia Lauria Vigna has died at the age of 113 (the link is in Spanish). She was Europe's oldest person. I'm not really an expert in these long lived dodderers, but I reckon that means Henry Allingham is now the Continent's most senior of citizens.

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted June 28, 2009 Florrie Baldwin is Britain's oldest - 77 days older than Henry, but she is 43 days younger than Eugenie Blanchard, French and the oldest living European. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ageless Immortal Giant 2 Posted June 28, 2009 Florrie Baldwin is Britain's oldest - 77 days older than Henry, but she is 43 days younger than Eugenie Blanchard, French and the oldest living European. According to Wikipedia, Blanchard lives on one of the French Caribbean islands, so not really European. Less European even than being British... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,233 Posted June 30, 2009 Scotland's oldest person, Elizabeth Cockburn, has died aged 108. I think that probably makes Marion Richardson Scotland's oldest person. She too is 108 and was called for Jury duty in March. That is if she is still living... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She too is 108 and was called for Jury duty in March. That is if she is still living... She wasn't Scotland's oldest person. The Herald, The Scotsman and the BBC have, as usual, got their facts wrong. There are at least two Scots older than her still living!! One of them lives blocks away from me in a nursing home and she is set to turn 110 in December! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of them lives blocks away from me in a nursing home and she is set to turn 110 in December! Ah well. I did think 108 was a bit young. Edit: Annie Ellis Turnbull née Walker (born 21 September 1898) of Edinburgh, is at age 110 the fifth-oldest woman in the United Kingdom, and the oldest person in Scotland since the death of Alexina Calvert on 19 September 2008.

Canadian Paul 97 Posted July 24, 2009 Olive Riley, the word's oldest blogger, has died aged 108. Serious point here, mind. The level of news interest in this case suggests that a few inspired picks - like Ivy Bean - will easily be DDP points scoring fodder when they go. Pensioners + pluck = points. Nearly a year later and Ivy Bean is still going strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted July 24, 2009 It had been reported that Henry Allingham outlived both of his children. The Daily Mail have manged to track down his eldest daughter Betty, aged 89, who hadn't spoken to her father for forty years. None of her children or grandchildren knew they were related to him.

VSBfromH 74 Posted August 14, 2009 It would seem holding the title of "Britain's oldest man" is akin to being manager of Newcastle United (except there's no Chris Hughton to step in on a temporary basis): Bog Taggart dies "just 20 days after inheriting the title Britain's Oldest Man from Harry Patch" Correction: Seems the Mirror may have got it wrong (according to Wikipedia ), Bob was Scotland's oldest (b 28 Jun 1900) but Britain's oldest is still Stanley Lucas (b 15 Jan 1900). However, the Scottish Daily Record and Glasgow Evening Times also reported Bob as being Britain's oldest man following Harry's death. Can anyone verify Stanley's status? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
