Bloke at work turns 65 this year, but is staying on. He doesn't want to retire, and we're busy so don't want to get rid of him.
My Gran worked for an accounting company well into her 70's. When she got to about 65, she started working from home. The boss of the company used to take the work to her himself.
If you're are a good worker, the company will want to keep you on.

Got a guy retiring this year, hes officially retiring but we are keeping in touch as a consultant for his knowledge he has, I guess hes being paid for that and I very much doubt he'll ever be bothered by anyone for his knowledge (mainly cause Im a know it all anyway so dont need to ask 
)

60 is her pensionable age and not her retirement age, both completely different.
Under the age regulations of October 2006 the default retirement age for men and women is 65, so unless there are exceptional circumstances as to why the employer can't continue to employ her after 60 she would have a good case for unfair dismissal if forced to retire.

Ahh yes of course. I forgot about this.
Employment Equality (Age) Regulations 2006 - Legislation - Age Positive
-ban unjustified retirement ages of below 65.
-a right for employees to request working beyond retirement age and a duty on employers to consider that request.
-a right for employees to request working beyond retirement age and a duty on employers to consider that request.
-a new requirement for employers to give at least six months notice to employees about their intended retirement date so that individuals can plan better for retirement, and be confident that "retirement" is not being used as cover for unfair dismissal.
