This stock image of a person over 55 has annoyed people online

We can see why.

People are quite annoyed by a stock image used for a story about people over 55. The headline read, "Housing shake-up will offer over-55s help with downsizing". Instead of using a person who is around 55 years old, a photo of a much older woman was used. It was first pointed out by Shelagh who took offense to the picture.

As someone who just hit 51 this is not the stock photo for over 55s I wish to see. Chosen by a 30 yr old no doubt pic.twitter.com/BnXe6pmG6E
