Britain's oldest person has died at the age of 110, staff at a nursing
home have confirmed.

Jessie Nicholls, who was born on January 25, 1892, passed away
peacefully last Wednesday at the Donnington House care home in
Chichester, West Sussex.

Mrs Nicholls was described as a *great lady* by staff. At the time of
her birth Britain was in mourning for the Duke of Clarence & Avondale;
the Marquess of Salisbury was Prime Minister; Gladstone had yet to
form his fourth ministry; Labour had only 3 MPs; Cezanne painted his
*Still Life with Apples and Primroses*; the construction of the
Blackwall Tunnel commenced, &c.

Her death leaves no CONFIRMED residents of the UK older than
110 or more,as we have not been assured of documentation for
Scotland's Lucy d'Abreu,a cousin-in-law of the late Queen Mother
who reportedly turned 110 some months ago.

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
