Daisy Bastin

Daisy Winifred Elizabeth Bastin (born 3 May 1908) is a British supercentenarian who is currently unvalidated.

Biography
Bastin was born on 3 May 1908 in Lympstone, Devon, England. She was one of seven children. She met her husband, Alf, in 1933, and they were married for nearly 50 years. The couple had a son, Michael, who is deceased. Alf was badly injured during the Second World War and suffered ill health for the rest of his life, so Daisy had to care for him.

Bastin currently lives in her own flat in Glastonbury, Somerset, England, and is assisted by carers and friends. At the age of 108, she was admitted to hospital after suffering from balance issues, but was discharged with a clean bill of health. She became a supercentenarian in May 2018. She has reportedly credits her longevity to "fresh onions".
