Ethel

Ethel Caterham, who lives at a care home in Lightwater, Surrey, reached the milestone following the death of Brazilian nun Sister Inah Canabarro Lucas, aged 116 on Wednesday.

The letter stated that His Majesty was "heartened to learn about Ethel's fascinating personal history".

The title of the oldest living person will now pass to 115-year-old Ethel Caterham from Surrey in England.

“Red Scare” burrows deep not just into the well-known major players, including Sen.

Starring Denzel Washington in the title role and Jake Gyllenhaal as the manipulative Iago, the production played to 100% capacity for each of its eight shows last week, filling every single seat in the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, according to Playbill.
