Buster Martin Feature

I had a very enjoyable few hours today spent in the company of the remarkable Buster Martin, who, it is claimed, is 101-years-old and who this year, incredibly, completed the London marathon.
Because of lack of a proof, The Guiness Book of Records has refused to count Buster as the eldest man to ever complete a marathon, suggesting he could be as young as 94 - which still make his efforts remarkable in anyone's book.
Buster is a great character - you may remember him from the band The Zimmers, a group of elderly people who recorded a hit version of 'My Generation' - he's both quick and witty and evidently still very fit. I took pictures of him at work at Pimlico Plumbers, where he cleans their vans each morning (incidentally this also makes him Britain's oldest employee), before capturing him in training running. Lastly we went to his local pub and shared a few pints, as he does on a daily basis.
