What's a photocard driving licence ?

Keep it, at least until you get the new one. I have read about cases where entitlements such as motorcycle were missed from the new licence.
People who couldn't prove they had passed the test had to take it again.

I agree with basill. Don't send the old one until you have the new one, and checked the back to make sure they haven't made any mistakes.

Same here, I still use the old pink one.

There aren't that many people who are under 70 and haven't moved house in the last two decades - and it's a number that's shrinking rapidly.

Just changed my car and the guy I showed my pink paper licence to said he's never seen one in such good condition (kept in the plastic wallet) as most are crumpled and torn. I'll be gutted when I have to change when I hit 70

I never sent my old driving licence after change of address and I was quite happy with that, when I lost wallet half an hour before going to the airport to fly to USA. I was going to use DL with old address to rent a car, without it, I could as well cancel my holiday. Luckily someone found my wallet and contacted me before I left for airport. I still have old licence, just in case.

I have just renewed my licence because of a certain birthday coming up. I was also asked to cut my old licence in two and return it. A rather pointless exercise as it is very easy to Sellotape a paper licence back together!

I have moved house in the last 2 decades.

Though probably not so easy to pass off two halves of a licence crudely sellotaped together as a genuine licence afterwards.
