The number of Britons who still work after they reach 65 has risen dramatically over the last 10 years, according to official figures.

A report from the Spectator based on figures for the Office of National Statistics has revealed that although 789,000 fewer working-age Britons are in employment, 358,000 more pension-age Britons have been working in the last decade.
