A woman from Mexico celebrated what was believed to be her 127th birthday on Sunday, making her the world’s oldest living person.
Leandra Becerra marked the occasion with her grandson’s family in Zapopan, western Mexico. She has lived with his family for the last five years.
Her grandson, Samuel Alvear, said he was told that Ms Becerra’s original birth certificate was burnt during the Mexican revolution of 1910 to 1917.
Ms Becerra was issued with a new birth certificate in 2009 after an investigation of 20th century electoral documents by the government.
The document states her date of birth as August 31 1887
