According to royal correspondent Richard Palmer, this year’s main Oldie of the Year award went to the French-American actress, dancer and writer Leslie Caron, 90.

"World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst, 79, won Oldie Golden Boot of the Year and, among other winners, Delia Smith, 80, was declared Truly Scrumptious Oldie of the Year," he wrote on social media.
