Dame Esther Rantzen wishes u3a a happy birthday

Presenter and journalist, Dame Esther Rantzen, has worked with u3a on several occasions and is a columnist in the u3a magazine, Third Age Matters.

In a video shared on u3a's social media platforms, Esther says, "Happy 40th anniversary u3a. Life begins at 40, as we all know, or 50, or 60, or 70."

"You've become a national institution, a national treasure. You prove, if anyone doubts it, that older people are full of adventure, resource, creativity and of course, you can teach an old dog new tricks."
