Born in 1896, Besse Cooper is officially the world's oldest living person at 115 years old.
Cooper is still able to speak and remember things although these days she sleeps for almost 80% of the day. She married her husband in 1924, has four children, 12 grandchildren and several more great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. "I mind my own business.. and I don't eat junk food," she says.
Besse Cooper's birthday celebrations were held at her residence in Monroe, Georgia – although this year, unlike last, there was no Elvis impersonator at the party.
