Tommy delivers an Easter treat

Date published: 03 April 2009


HOSPITAL bound youngsters were given an eggs-tra special treat when Moorside millionaire Tommy Cone paid a visit.

This is the sixth year that Mr Cone (69) — who scooped a £4.2 million National Lottery windfall in 2003 and is well known for his generosity — and his wife, Joan, have visited the Royal Oldham Hospital to deliver Easter eggs.

The kind-hearted pair gave patients on the F3 Children’s Ward a selection of choc-tastic Easter eggs and also visited the special care baby unit to hand out clothes and gifts.
