The world’s oldest person, French nun Lucile Randon, has died aged 118

Randon – who assumed the name Sister André when she became a nun in 1944 – died in her sleep at her nursing home in Toulon, France.

Born in 1904, she lived through two world wars and dedicated much of her life to Catholicism.

In one of her last interviews, she told reporters: “People should help each other and love each other instead of hating. If we shared all that, things would be a lot better.”
