Ethel May Caterham, born on August 21, 1909, in Hampshire, celebrated her 115th birthday at Hallmark Lakeview Care Home in Lightwater, Surrey, and has become the world’s oldest person following the death of 116-year-old Inah Canabarro Lucas. Ethel is the last known living person born in the 1900s and the third British individual to reach 115, having previously lived in India, Hong Kong, and Gibraltar with her husband, a lieutenant colonel. She has three granddaughters and five great-grandchildren, reflecting on a life that began when women had few rights, including the right to vote.
