The new 'oldest living person in world' is a Jamaican,Violet Brown .She is 117 years and 36 days old and takes over the title from Emma Morano who has died aged 117 years and 137 days.

 Mrs Brown who was born on March 10, 1900, is the first ever verified supercentenarian from Jamaica - and the oldest verified Jamaican person ever.

“I live by the grace of God and I am proud of my age!”
