Tribute to Reg Buttress, the UK's oldest shop worker

A 94-year-old great-grandfather, who was thought to be one of Britain's oldest shop workers, has died two months after retiring.

Reg Buttress started at Sainsbury's supermarket in Cwmbran, Torfaen, in 1981, aged 59.

The former coal miner and steam engine driver retired in September after celebrating his 94th birthday.

Here's the moment when Reg said goodbye to his colleagues for the last time in September.
