A D-Day veteran who left school with no qualifications has become Britain’s oldest university student after he was awarded his second PhD – AGED 95.

Charles Betty is now a Doctor of Philosophy after completing a 48,000-word thesis on why elderly ex-pats living in Spain return to the UK.

Mr Betty, who moved to the Costa del Sol in 1986, took five years to complete the long-distance course while also caring for his disabled wife, Eileen, 93.
