Well done Guvnor, RIP

He's the lucky on won't have to hear about the Cummings saga anymore. RIP old fella.

BBCWorld RIP

He declined a birthday card from the Queen, saying he did not want one at the taxpayers' expense and he had received at least 10 from her already. During his lifetime Mr Weighton worked as an engineer, spending time in Taiwan, Japan and Canada.

R.I.P DEAR BOB X

What a lovely sounding man. RIP.

What do you mean 'World Oldest Man'... There are men who are older than this m a in Nigeria, Asia and other parts of the world... What paradigm cum yardstick are you using to judge this?

Decent innings that. Who’s taken over?

Rest in peace x

BBCWorld What a beautiful head of hair he had. Just like my hi husband when he passed away at 84.

❤️❤️❤️

RIP.

you can't say world oldest man when you just judge by your location. Your view is myopic don't tag him as the world oldest man. Afolabi died today. So who is actually the world oldest man now?

Covid straight on death certificate

Good job, Bob. 👏

Why does this keep happening We should be taking better care of the elderly!

BBC, you think he was the world's oldest? Y not take a trip to Africa?

BBCWorld I just moved up a spot...

Wow that's amazing. RlP wise man.

Now riot like the Americans

From cook book circa 1913. Recipe from his mother
