Oldest Briton, born when Victoria was on the throne, dies at age 111

From The Guardian

"Britain's oldest person has died, just one month short of her 112nd birthday. Eunice Bowman was born in 1898 when Victoria was on the throne, and worked in a fish and chip shop until the age of 84.

She had also lived independently until two years ago, when she moved into a home in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, where she died on Friday..."
