Besse Cooper, the world's oldest living person, marked another milestone today, when she celebrated her 116th birthday.

Besse, from Monroe, Georgia, USA, was first certified as the world's oldest person in January 2011.

She had to relinq

uish the title for a few months when it was discovered that Brazilian-born Maria Gomes Valentim was 48 days older. However, when Maria died on June 21, 2011, Besse was reinstated as the world's oldest person and has held that title ever since.
