'Stay active and stay interested,' he said.

When speaking to ITV Central in 2011, Mr Dean said there are three questions everyone should ask themselves.

I love hearing these stories which seem to defy all reason. My dad is 92, drinks a bottle of scotch/rum a day, plus beer. He still has an active social life and can walk briskly up a flight of stairs.

WOW 109 years, I wonder if all the telegraphs from HMQ are different?
