She does not appear to have aged a day since then.

Any more out there? ???

Pics of Floella entering the House of Lords as a LibDem peer earlier this year.
I hope it's OK to post this link to her website.
Good point about her not ageing I saw her on TV a couple of years ago & I realised she must be at least 22 years older than me but she looks younger than I do.

Here's 59 year old Floella on The Wright Stuff looking less than half her age.

And here's a video of my above pics in the House of Lords, what a breath of fresh air she looks in that stuffy old place.
