Britain's oldest person has died at the age of 114.
Ethel Lang was believed to be the last person living in the UK who was born in the reign of Queen Victoria.
Mrs Lang was born in the Worsbrough area of Barnsley on 27 May 1900 and lived in the South Yorkshire town all her life.
In 2005, she moved into the Water Royd House nursing home in Barnsley, where a spokesman confirmed she had died on Thursday.
Mrs Lang left school at 13 to work in a shirt factory and married her husband, William, in 1922. Mr Lang died in 1988.
According to a list of super-centenarians maintained by the Gerontology Research Group, Gladys Hooper, 111, of the Isle of Wight, is now Britain's oldest person. She will be 112 on Sunday.
The oldest person in the world is thought to be Misao Okawa, a Japanese woman who celebrated her 116th birthday last March.
