Documentary film, \u2018Life begins at 90\u2019, scooped its fifth award at the Travel FilmFest international film festival in Limassol in October.<\/p>\n

The film, created by Paphos based \u2018In Focus Films\u2019, features 95-year-old WWII veteran Ray Woolley. It won the festival\u2019s Audience Choice Award.<\/p>\n

The Travel Filmfest saw carefully selected films compete and screen in front of a live audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe festival collects the best travel and lifestyle films to screen,\u201d festival founder Valery Shanin, also an enthusiastic travel film maker who has organised film festivals in Russia, said.<\/p>\n

Life Begins at 90, was filmed in Cyprus and highlights Ray\u2019s life, his passion for diving and the water, and his healthy approach to ageing.<\/p>\n

Ray\u2019s approach to a healthy life as the world\u2019s oldest active scuba diver and a WWII veteran is inspirational. He broke his own Guinness world record on September 1, 2018, in Cyprus.<\/p>\n

During the war Ray travelled the Mediterranean with the navy and was one of the first of the allied forces to land on Rhodes, after the Germans left in May 1945.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted with this prize and hope that my film inspires people of all ages to get up out of their chairs and do some exercise. Movement is the key and I swim in my pool three or four times a day,\u201d he told the Paphos Post.<\/p>\n

Life Begins at 90 will premier in the UK on November 9, at the Liverpool International Film Festival 2018, and Limassol resident Ray, who is originally from Port Sunlight on the Wirral Peninsula, will attend the festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will also march past the Cenotaph in London on Remembrance Sunday this year, as I did when I was ninety,\u201d he told the Paphos Post.<\/p>\n
