Britain's oldest (known) male resident just turned 113. One of the founders of the Royal Air Force (RAF) and WWI veteran, Henry Allingham has five grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-great-grandchild. Allingham lived independently until 2006, when he moved into a communal home.
Henry Allingham became Britain's oldest man a few months back at 112, having outlived the previous record-holder, John Evans, who died in 1990. Allingham is one of two surviving WWI veterans in all of Britain.
