Another聽year circling聽the sun comes to an end, and another one begins.

And so we have a special poem聽to mark the New Year, written by local poet Pauline McAdam.

Inspired by a wonderful聽gentleman John Alfred Tinniswood; Scouser born and bred.聽

Avid footie fan all his long life. And what a life.聽This year he became the world's oldest man, living 112 years and 91 days.聽

He passed away peacefully in November after "Forty One Thousand Suns".
