"Archie Corbett, who became Britain's oldest student when he signed up for a course at the same college as his great-great grandson, celebrated his 100th birthday on Saturday.
Mr Corbett, from Lymington, Hants, enrolled on the lip-reading course after his hearing began to deteriorate.
The former factory worker, who still drives a car, attends the Brockenhurst College classes at the Lymington Community Centre."
