We are all living longer. The number of people over 85 has increased by nearly a third over the last ten years.

He lives in Barton on Sea near the New Forest and told Sarah Montague about the loneliness he felt spending New Year's Eve alone. (Photo: A man standing looking out of the window. Credit: Thinkstock)
