The Oldie of the Year Award winners

“Famously, Abraham Lincoln said, ‘Whatever you are, be a good one, and I think we can agree that, whatever they are, today’s winners are very good ones indeed. My warm congratulations to all of them.” HRH the Duchess of Cornwall at The Oldie of the Year Awards held at The Savoy 19 October.

Camilla also congratulated The Oldie 'on reaching its thirtieth year and for being a publication that is both original and unique – dedicated to us oldies, but with an ever-youthful spirit.'

For the past 29 years, The Oldie has held the Oldie of the Year (aka TOOTY) awards to celebrate the achievements of those who have made a special contribution to public life while maintaining – in the phrase of our founding editor, Richard Ingrams – undoubted snap in their celery.

Previous winners have included all sorts, from Oscar- winners to Nobel laureates, from community-care nurses to veteran athletes, from the Queen Mother to David Hockney.
