The world's oldest living person, Maria Branyas Morera, died in Spain at the age of 117. She lived through two World Wars, the Spanish Civil War and suffered hearing loss as a child.

Her remarkable longevity was recognised by the Guinness World Records, and Morera became a symbol of resilience, having survived Covid at age 113.

She said her secrets to long life included order, tranquility, emotional stability, and "staying away from toxic people."
