The most senior individual globally, who shares the year of birth with the infamous sinking of the Titanic, commemorates his 112th birthday.
Currently, the oldest living individual on Earth, who stepped into this world on August 26, 1912, is commemorating his 112th birthday.
Tinniswood is celebrating this significant milestone with his loved ones at his care facility situated in the scenic western English coastal town of Southport, as per the records maintained by Guinness World Records (GWR).
Just before his birthday, Tinniswood shared with GWR that he felt "absolutely no different" turning 112, mentioning casually, "I don't feel that age, I don't get all worked up over it. I guess that's why I've reached this age. I just take it in my stride like anything else," according to a press release on Sunday.
As a father of one, grandfather of four, and great-grandfather of three, this Centenarian was confirmed as the oldest living man by Guinness World Records in April.
He also holds the title of the world's oldest surviving male World War II veteran, according to GWR.
In terms of maintaining health, Tinniswood emphasizes the importance of moderation. He enjoys listening to the radio and still manages his daily tasks, including getting out of bed and handling his finances, independently.
"I can't think of any special secrets I've got up my sleeve. I was quite active as a youngster; I used to do a lot of walking. But to me, I'm no different (from anyone else). No different at all," he stated.
On his thoughts about the world in the next 112 years, Tinniswood voiced his hope for more honesty and transparency between nations. He believes that nations, including ours, tend to put on a show from time to time.
Tinniswood currently trails behind Japan's 116-year-old Tomiko Itooka, who claimed the title of the oldest living person and woman last week, following the passing of 117-year-old US-born Maria Branyas Morera.
If Tinniswood manages to live for another four years, he would surpass the record held by Japan's Jiroemon Kimura, who lived for 116 years between 1897 and 2013.
The title for the oldest person ever belongs to Jeanne Calment from France, who lived for an astonishing 122 years between 1875 and 1997.
Tinniswood's achievements, including being the oldest living man in the world and the oldest surviving World War II veteran, have garnered global attention, making headlines in the United Kingdom and the World.
Despite numerous records he has broken, Tinniswood remains humble, expressing his hope for increased honesty and transparency between nations, believing that such values could significantly impact the global scenario.
