    Florence Pannell. Born in 1868, the same year as Tsar Nicholas II. Older than Churchill by 6 years. France still had an Emperor. 18 when the Statue of Liberty came up, 21 when the Eiffel Tower was built. 35 when the first airplane flew, 46 when WWI started, 59 when the first TV broadcast was made, 77 when WWII ended, 89 when Sputnik orbited the earth, 101 when humans landed on the Moon, 111 when the Shah of Iran was overthrown, and died in 1980, the same year as John Lennon. She was the oldest person in Europe at the time of her death. What a ride.

    If Mrs. Florence was 108 in the year 1977 that means she probably was born in 1869. World War 1 started in 1914 so she would have been 45 and then World War 2 started Sept. 1939 so she would have been 70.

    For several decades, airplanes could not fly safely at night. Had no cabin pressurisation. Were not very fast. Had a poor safety record. Before the DC3, no airplane made a reliable profit. The first models that clearly showed that aviation was fast, comfortable and profitable were the DC6 and the Lockheed Constellation. Before 1946-50, one had a right to be a bit sceptical of civilian aviation.

Visiting my grandfather in hospital - just seeing someone going from being quite robust to lying in a bed still complaining and then suddenly, no longer around. Also remember an argument with a girl in school when the teacher got a bit involved - all this was in 1979. It's quite hazy before that - I remember only a few things before that.

    ​@@unholylemonpledge9730You crackhead. Clearly they're referring to how little our language has changed in the past ~150 years. If we were to have this woman talking with someone her age in this video when she was say, 10 years old, they would have been born in 1771. There's a greater difference in language between 1771 and 1879 than 1869 and 2023. Basically every century you go back the change is more dramatic

    This is an incredible interview. My great great aunt who died at a 104 back back in about 1999 remembered Titanic sinking. She would say I was just a child then but I remember people crying in the streets hadn't seen anything that bad until the great depression came.. She then proceeded to tell us a story about how she watched a man go withdraw most of his savings out of a bank throw all of his money out on the street and then shoot himself in the head. Died right there. She was a hard ass and a quiet little old lady at the same time. When she died, she passed with a bullet hole lodged in her shoulder. Been there since 1939 she would say and then mutter some curse words about her old ex husband. Once she also told a doctor to piss off because she wasnt explaining why she had that bullet in her and she was 99 and not going to psychical rehab (she broke her hip slipping) and also not going to do anything else she damn well didn't want to do. It was hilarious. I really miss her

    I once asked my mother about that. She is only sixty, but when I think of how things were when she was a little girl, and how things are now, I see a huge difference in society, technology, international politics, etc. She told me doesn't feel the change, and only looking back and reflecting on the past she feels like things have changed, but progress is not a leap, it is more like a continuous process.

    This lady likely knew people born in the 1700s wtffffff (edit): Since there are so many people replying with the same response, i'll explain why what I said was true. In the 1800s, the mortality rate of children was very high which significantly brought down the average life expectancy. People who made it out of their childhood typically lived a long life similar to modern day life expectancies. So if this lady remembers an elderly person from when she was around 10, which would have been in the late 1870s, there is a good chance that person was born in the late 1790s (Yes! 1799 is still the 1700s!). I have seen plenty of photos from the 1800s where there are people who look to be 70 or 80 years old.

    At the end when she says everything has changed that brought back a memory. In Ireland in 1984 I met a 90 year old man who was near this women's age who could not express enough how every single thing around him had changed. He kept saying it was unbelievable. It must have been quite a thing to live through the C20th century.

    I may be wrong but it seems to me that 20th century was a rollercoaster compared to previous times. A lot of bad things happened and at the same times a lot of positive changes happened and changed our lives, both practically and mentally. And yet this start of 21st century seems less interesting, it reaks of cultural stagnation and political back walking.

    @@negy2570 I would disagree. The greatest transformational century in history is undoubtedly the C19th. That is the way we thought about life changed, (e.g. by the end of the C19th everyone arranged their day by clock time. Just this alone was a profound change from a past where a day was just one thing, not divided into hours or even for most into activities) However the C20th delivered on the C19th thinking into lots of small improvements in people's domestic lives. So it felt like new gadgets or behaviour was a consistent flow but the thinking was all from the C19th and still is.

    @@flashtrash7830 I once read a biography of Sir Sanford Fleming (1827-1915), who invented time zones, and it made the same point. The Industrial Revolution was the biggest material change in human society in ten thousand years, the switch from farming to industry as the mode of production. Fleming was born as the Industrial Revolution was getting started, just before the invention of the railway and the telegraph, and died in a world with telephones, film, cars and aeroplanes. But I would say that Florence Pannell witnessed a lot more changes in society and in technology in everyday life. She was born before the torrent of inventions in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, most notably the telephone, the gramophone, the incandescent bulb, the car and film. She ended her life in a world with jet airliners, colour television, the contraceptive pill and the first personal computers. When she was young, women had far less rights than men, married women were effectively the property of their husbands and a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking. The 1970s saw the permissive society, the Women's Liberation Movement and the Sex Discrimination Act. I love that this Vctorian woman who'd survived to 1977 took down the Victorian Age with humour and made it clear she was on the side of Women's Liberation.
