Age Concern offer travel insurance with no age limits:
http://www.ageconcern.org.uk/AgeConcern/travel_insurance.asp

Help The Aged own Intune Insurance:
http://www.helptheaged.org.uk/en-gb/OnlineShop/Insurance/Travel+insurance/

(Since Help the Aged has now actually merged with Age Concern, to form Age UK, you might find that both the above links produce the same quotes but, up until recently, they used to be entirely separate operations, so you might still find that one source is better than the other).

Some people seem to find Saga (who specialise in products for the over-50s) rather expensive for travel insurance, but it might be worth checking their prices:

The websites of UK charities for people with medical conditions often include links to Able2Travel. Able2Travel also offer travel insurance tailored to the needs of people over 64 years old:

Oh. I see that AB's new server has messed up yet another link. (The second one in my post, above).

This should work instead:

thank you all will try them for quotes
We had always found Saga quite cheap actually, until my husband got some difficult medical conditions and then they wouldn't touch us with a barge pole! Now got really comprehensive cover from All Clear, but at a price.
