Ethel Lang, Britain's oldest person, has died aged 114 in England's Barnsley town.
Lang, who lived to see six British monarchs and 22 Prime Ministers, became the UK's longest-surviving person after Londoner Grace Jones died aged 113 in 2013.
Born on May 27, 1900, she was believed to be one of the last two living subjects of Queen Victoria.
Lang, who was born the South Yorkshire town of Barnsley, was the youngest daughter of miner Charles Lancaster and his wife Sarah.
She was born when Queen Victoria was still on the throne and the Marquess of Salisbury was Prime Minister.
Lang lived in Barnsley all her life and left school at 13 to work at Sugden's shirt factory.
In 1922, she married William Lang - a young plumber and the only son of Barnsley councillor Thomas Lang.
An year later, the couple celebrated the birth of their daughter, Margaret, who is now 89.
Lang was widowed when her husband died in 1988 and lived independently until she was 105, when she moved into a Barnsley care home.
She never smoked and rarely touched alcohol.
Lang died at Water Royd House nursing home, in Gilroyd, Barnsley, on Thursday morning.
