Britain's oldest father has child at 74
Gerry Burks, who will be 75 on Tuesday, has a newborn son, Ryan, with his wife Dawn, 41.
The couple, from Louth in Lincs, also have another son, Daniel, age six.
Mr Burks, whose wife is nearly 35 years his junior, has credited his love of bananas for his virility.
"I packed all the bad things up in the mid-1980s when my first marriage broke down. I eat lots of bananas and always have done, sometimes a couple a day."
The world's oldest father is Nanu Ram Jogi, from India, who had a child at 90.
