They skydive, go to proms and even swing. Meet the world's oldest people, ten elders who prove age is no excuse to stop living.
 
1. World's Oldest Person to be alive (130 years old)



Authorities in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia claim a woman from a remote mountain village turned 130, placing her at the top of the world's oldest people. Antisa Khvichava from western Georgia was born on July 8, 1880, said Georgiy Meurnishvili, spokesman for the civil registry at the Justice Ministry. The woman, who lives with her 40-year-old grandson in an idyllic vine-covered country house in the mountains, retired from her job as a tea and corn picker in 1965, when she was 85, records say. ‘I've always been healthy, and I've worked all my life – at home and at the farm,' Antisa said, in a bright dress and headscarf – and red lipstick. Sitting in a chair and holding her cane, Antisa spoke quietly through an interpreter – since she never went to school to learn Georgian and speaks only the local language, Mingrelian.

3. World's Oldest Doctor (100 years old)



A doctor who has delivered 18,000 babies over a career spanning more than 60 years is still practicing at 100 years old. Dr Walter Watson, nicknamed 'Papa Doc', has been present at the births of generations spanning from grandparents down to grandchildren during his 63 years as an obstetrician. The doctor from Augusta, Georgia, USA, is thought to be the oldest practicing medic in the world. Among his patients is Sabra Allen, 77, who he has treated for 59 years. He has delivered 17 members of her family. “He delivered all five of my kids and twelve of the grandkids,” said Mrs Allen, a retired hospital administrator. ‘There ain't no one like him, he's the best.”

5. World's Oldest McDonald's Worker (85 years old)



Grandfather Bill Dudley is Britain's oldest McDonald's worker – aged 85. He says the staff are like family and he wouldn't be without his part-time job. Bill, a retired taxi driver, greets customers and wipes tables at the fast food outlet in Mold, Clwyd. He says he's fighting fit for his six-hour shifts every Wednesday and Thursday, despite a pacemaker, angina and a new knee. ‘Sitting at home can get boring, I'm not a drinker and my wife won't let me touch the garden, because she does all that,' the former taxi driver said. 'A lot of the customers don't believe I'm 85. They look at me and think I'm in my 60s. I just like the job. I like talking to people and meeting people. That's why I loved the taxi work – I like solving their problems. A lot of the people working here are much younger than me, like a whole different generation, but they feel like family.'
