The Old Un was delighted to chat to the ever-effervescent Jilly Cooper at the Oldie of the Year Awards.

All oldies will be delighted by her new discovery – late-flowering sex appeal.

‘Isn’t Tony Blackburn gorgeous?’ said Jilly, casting an appreciative eye across the room at the legendary 75-year-old DJ. ‘The older he gets, the lovelier he gets.’

The Old Un has been inspired by Jilly’s words to compose The Oldie’s new Latin motto: Senior pulchrior – 'The older, the lovelier.'
