"We just don’t do old age like my mum and dad did," says 50-something director Sue Bourne. "This generation keeps working, they’re still active. It’s the beginning of a revolution in ageing."

Some might believe that retirement for women in the UK means endless book groups, lunches out and a yearly cruise. But as women live longer than ever before, what does the future hold for these baby boomers who may have to fund more than three decades of being out of work?
