Hamlet asks the gravedigger how long he has been a gravedigger, and the gravedigger answers that he started his job the day King Hamlet defeated Fortinbras senior, which was the day young Hamlet was born. The gravedigger then says "I have been sexton here man and boy thirty years." Hamlet is therefore thirty years old.
