Oldest Czech man dies

The funeral has taken place of the Czech Republic's oldest man, Stanislav Vecera from Brezi nad Oslavou, who was 106. His grandson said Mr Vecera, who was born on November 6 1900, had managed to live so long because of his sober lifestyle and his work in the outdoors as a wood cutter. There are 400 people over the age of 100 in the country.
