Celebration marks 110th birthday for Britain's oldest man

_56388507_8e976b9f-54f0-456d-aaa8-9761f4f4cac8A public concert was held on Saturday night for former church minister Reg Dean, from Wirksworth, Derbyshire, although he was unable to attend.

The Dalesmen Male Voice Choir, which he set up, will sing for him later.

Mr Dean, who was born in Tunstall, Staffordshire, on 4 November 1902, says the secret of his longevity is being lazy, but his family says it may be down to a potion he drank in India.

Mr Dean, who has lived in Derbyshire since 1947, has lived through two world wars and 24 British prime ministers.
