The Daily Mirror is Britain’s best-selling post-war newspaper since the 1970s since it was established in 1903. Through broad journalistic content, including photographs (something many competing titles didn’t utilise), advertisements etc. the Daily Mirror provides superior insight into the past.

Ordering for a Birthday after 1998? Your birthday newspaper book will include twenty-five historical newspaper front pages, with each page followed by a ‘remember when’ page to allow you to add those extra special memories into the book. Don’t worry though, their date of birth will still be the date embossed on the cover. 

Please note: The Mirror was on strike from 26th March 1955 through to 20th April 1955. Should your chosen birth date fall within the strike period, we’ll insert a page into your Birthday Edition – Newspaper Book explaining that there were no papers available on that date.

Please note: The birthday newspaper book will only include this year’s birthday page if it is ordered 30 days after the selected date. There will be occasions (very rarely) when a front page for your exact date isn’t available. For example, no newspapers are printed on Christmas Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday and during strikes, in which case a front page from the day after will be used.

First Dates Available
