Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has said it took him a while to get his head around the idea of being a grandfather, but now that he has, he wants to raise the profile of grandfathers everywhere.
Richards told People magazine: "The first grandchild you try to ignore in a way – not the child, the fact."
He continued: "Then when they're old enough to say 'Grandpa' and you realise they're talking to you, it's like, 'Oh right'.
"I'm growing into it. When they're angsty with their parents, I'm the safe haven. Grandparents can do great things with the kids, and, since I am one, I'm here to raise the profile of grandfathers."
