Britain’s oldest dad left behind a huge sum to his children after he passed away. Raymond Calvert died in December 2022, having become the nation’s oldest father at the age of 78 with his 25-year-old lover in 2010.

The cash was to be divided between the children after his funeral and any possible debts of his were paid off.
