A local authority's oldest councillor has stepped down after more than 50 years to "give way" to its youngest.
Gareth Morgan, who will be 90 in October, has been a Powys county councillor in Llanidloes since the formation of the local authority in 1974.
In his place will be the council's youngest representative Glyn Preston, who was just 22 when he was first elected three years ago and has shared responsibility for the Llanidloes ward with Mr Morgan.
Preston described Mr Morgan's contribution to the community as "immense", and said he expected people will go and see him about their problems even after he has left, because they always have done.
