A Peruvian farmer claimed to be the world's oldest man

A Peruvian farmer claimed to be the world's oldest man was all smiles as he celebrated his '125th birthday' over the weekend.

Marcelino Abad Tolentino, standing at just 4ft 2ins tall, was joined by carers as he blew out the candle on his cake at a care home in Cochachinche, near Huanuco.

The retired farmer and bricklayer, who never married or had children, has no birth certificate, and the Guinness Book of Records has yet to certify him as the world's oldest man.
