ONE of Britain’s oldest paper boys says delivering The Sun is why he gets out of bed each day.
Tony Fagg, 87, wakes at 5am for his daily round.
And he reckons: “Being able to bring Sun readers their papers is a great reason to get up in the morning.”
Great-grandfather Tony started delivering newspapers 22 years ago to keep his 13-year-old grand-daughters company on their rounds.
And he has no plans to retire, despite narrowly missing out on the title of oldest paper boy.
Earlier this year we told how Robert Farms, 88, of Spennymoor, Co Durham, was still delivering.
Tony, of Stanhope, Kent, goes out on his own seven days a week then sits down to read The Sun alongside a breakfast of tea with cereal or bacon and egg.
The former iron caster said: “I started doing the round when my grand-daughters were doing it and I was made redundant.
“At first it was a struggle to get up in the morning but now, after all these years, it’s a great routine and I love it.
“At the end of the day age is just a number and as long as I am fit and healthy, then I will keep going.
“The Sun’s my favourite paper and I read it every single day. I don’t get a free copy, though, just because I deliver it.
“I love reading the stories. It’s always been the best paper for me and still is.”
