103-year-old gardener is Britain's oldest worker

Hardy perennial Jim Webber is a regular sight at his local pub where he works as a gardener - aged 103.

The retired farmer spends several days a week mowing, pruning, digging, weeding and trimming the third-acre garden to immaculate standards.

Great-grandfather Jim is believed to be Britain's oldest worker.

He has spent the past 20 years tending the lawns, trees and bushes behind The New Inn - and works for a self imposed-wage of just £3 per hour.
