Weeks after Robert De Niro became a father for the seventh time, Al Pacino is reported to be expecting his fourth child.

At 79 and 83 respectively, the Godfather stars are the latest additions to Hollywood’s club of old dads. Now, we want to hear from readers in the UK about what it’s like to become a father at an older age. How old were you, and did you have children already? What are the challenges and advantages? What’s the one piece of advice you would give?

Additionally, if you’re the child of an older father, tell us about what that was like.
