A woman who claimed to be the oldest in the world has died at the age of 126.
Fotima Mirzokulova from Tajikistan was allegedly the last woman born in the 19th century.
She said she was born on March 13, 1893, and lived through the Soviet era and later saw her homeland gain its independence in 1991.
Mrs Mirzokulova has left behind eight children and more than 200 grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren.
She was buried on Saturday, January 24, in the town of Dakhana, close to her county's border with Uzbekistan.
Local media report she spent her life working on a farm and continued to harvest cotton long after her retirement because she loved the job.
The world's oldest ever verified woman was Jeanne Louise Calment from France, who died at the age of 122 in August 1997.
She was born in February 1875.
The oldest woman alive today, verified by the Guinness World Records, is believed to be 117-year-old Kane Tanaka of Japan.
Kane, from Fukuoka, was born prematurely in January 1903 and was officially honoured as the world's oldest living person in March 2019.
She was presented with a certificate for that record - and one for the oldest living woman title - in a ceremony at her nursing home.
During the event, Kane was given a box of chocolates, which she immediately started eating, the global authority on records said.
She was later asked how many chocolates she wanted to eat that day.
She cheekily replied: "100."
Despite her age, Kane typically wakes up at 6am - and is still learning, often studying subjects like maths on afternoons.
She also loves playing the classic board game Othello. She has become an expert at the game, often beating nursing home staff.
She was confirmed as the oldest person alive on January 30, 2019, (when she was 116 years 28 days).
