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

• Ms. Randon - who assumed the name Sister André when she took holy orders in 1944 - died in her sleep at her nursing home in Toulon, France. 
• Born in 1904 in southern France, she lived through two world wars and also saw 27 French heads of state. 
• Despite being blind and reliant on a wheelchair, Sister André cared for other elderly people - some of whom were much younger than herself.
