Super Senior!

They joke about knocking on heaven's door, but a Japanese 'girl band' with an average age of 84 have become unexpected pop idols.

Hailing from the remote, coral-fringed island of Kohama in Okinawa, KBG84 - a play on the name of popular teenyboppers AKB48 - admit to being slightly bemused by their success after cutting their first disc and completing a sellout Japan tour.

"When I first heard someone call us 'idols', I thought an idol meant someone who had lived a long life and was at the gates of heaven," pint-sized Tomi Menaka, 92, told AFP.

"But in Tokyo they told me it was an entertainer - which was a relief because I thought it meant I was on my way to heaven."

5. Daring Doris: 101 year old completes 300 foot rappel

'Daring' Doris Long completes Portsmouth abseil aged 101

The world's oldest abseiler, nicknamed "Daring Doris", has increased her record after descending almost 100m (328ft) aged 101.
Doris Long said she felt no fear as she came down Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower.

The great-great-grandmother last performed the feat on her 100th birthday in May 2014.

The pensioner, who has previously abseiled alongside new Top Gear host Chris Evans, is raising money for the Rowans Hospice in Waterlooville.
