London: A British great-grandfather who recently became the world's oldest man has said his weekly fish and chips are the key to his longevity.

John Tinniswood, aged 111, said his long life was largely down to consuming the British staple meal and taking "everything in moderation".

The father-of-one, who lives in a care home in Southport, Merseyside, in England, took the title this week following the death of 114-year-old Juan Vicente Perez, from Venezuela.

Guinness World Records met Tinniswood at his care home on Friday to present him with his certificate.
