Britain's oldest man has died at the age of 110 years and 63 days.
Former church minister Reg Dean lived through two world wars and 24 British prime ministers.
Mr Dean, who was born in Staffordshire on 4 November 1902, died on Saturday at his home in Wirksworth, Derbyshire, his friend John Neaum said.
The former army chaplain became Britain's oldest man after the death of 110-year-old Stanley Lucas, from Cornwall, in June 2010.
Love and affectionStationed in Burma during World War II, Mr Dean continued to work as a minister until his retirement at the age of 80.
He also spent 10 years working as a teacher and was married three times.
Mr Neaum said his friend inspired a lot of love and affection and was always looking for the best in people.
He wrote short stories, set up The Dalesmen Male Voice Choir and took up painting at the age of 80.
Mr Neaum said he would particularly remember his friend for his wonderful use of language.
Mr Dean said in November the secret of his longevity was being lazy.
