Ageing stereotypes challenged in Aberystwyth photography exhibition
Getting older has not stopped punk rocker Roddy Moreno touring with his band - or Jim Young from diving head-first into freezing Welsh seas.
They have both joined 12 people aged 65 to 85 for a photography exhibition aiming to break down negative stereotypes of old age.
The images, by photographer Jon Pountney, are being shown at the This is Older exhibition launched by Age Cymru at the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth.
