Can't believe that picture of him is remotely recent.  If it is he looks insane for his age.

Can't surely be a remotely recent picture right?   He looks well sub 100 in that photo.

This from Sky News suggests the photo is current;

What a fantastic looking 'young' man in hull.   Hardly the centre of the country for healthy eating and modern living i would imagine.  Wouldn't want to have had his pension on the books for 55 years
