A man believed to be Britain's oldest defendant has been found guilty of child sex offences.

Retired lorry driver Ralph Clarke, 101, was convicted of 21 charges relating to two young girls in the 1970s and 1980s.

Clarke admitted nine charges relating to a young boy part-way through his trial at Birmingham Crown Court.

He sat impassively as the unanimous verdicts were delivered.

He is expected to be sentenced next week.
