WRVS today unveiled the Gold Age Power List. The list celebrates individuals who are continuing to make significant social and cultural contributions to the UK over the age of 66. They defy stereotypes and the misconception that the UK’s ageing population is a looming disaster because it represents a “burden” and “drain on society”.

Topped by The Queen, Delia Smith, David Attenborough and Michael Palin, the list celebrates people from the worlds of arts, sports and adventure, science, public service and business. It also recognises local volunteers who are making invaluable contributions in their local communities every day.
