A magazine has named the British Justice Secretary Ken Clarke as the 'Oldie of the year'.
The 72-year-old Conservative MP is "one of the most characterful men on either front bench. He displays all the characteristics of a cast-iron Oldie: true to his principles, age worn lightly, still in the job long after his work mates have gone. He survived Ted Heath, Margaret Thatcher and John Major. Not only is he justifiably and prominently the Oldie of the Year but he is also the political survivor of the year" says one of the judges, Jon Snow.
Others to have won the award in the past include Sir David Attenborough and Joanna Lumley.
