Britain’s oldest new dad, 79, says baby is ‘gift from God’

A PENSIONER reported to be Britain’s oldest new father told of becoming a parent for the seventh time, at 78 — with a woman 54 years his junior.

Jamie Rai was born 10 weeks ago to Raymond Calvert, 79, and his partner 25-year-old Charlotte, who has adopted his surname.

The former shop owner and market trader described the little boy, who weighed 7lb 1oz at birth, as a “gift from God”.
