That’s clever, but still leaves a significant edge case. I’d hazard to guess that 101-year-olds don’t travel very much and are therefore rather likely to be forced to get new passports for this specific purpose. (But perhaps the home office accepts expired passports?)

I’m sure he didn’t, this definitely isn’t his fault.

Does it though? It’s a rare edge case that should be trivial to solve with minor human intervention.
