How often does the photo on the 70+ driving licence need changed?

How often must the photograph on the 70+ DVLA driving licence be renewed? Thank you and kind regards.

DVLA told us: "The photograph on a photocard driving licence must be updated every ten years as part of the renewal of the photocard driving licence. When a driver turns 70 they will only need to update the photo once on their licence and will not have to pay a fee for doing so."
