Irish DJ, 91, is a hit on UK hospital radio

Kildare man Patrick Murphy, who is one of the oldest DJs broadcasting in Britain at the age of 91, has said he has "no intention of stopping".

Patrick, who lives in Bradford, West Yorkshire, has had a twice-weekly show at his local hospital radio station for the past decade after he "got bored" with retirement.

"In 2012, I was a bit bored and I saw a story in the paper advertising for new DJs to help run programmes at hospital radio," he said.

"I thought, 'That's just the job for me' so I went down to the station, had an interview, got the gig and have been there ever since.
