The Sun Supplements

There are several regular supplements that currently accompany the Sun. The main addition to the paper is “TV biz“, which provides the latest television news, gossip and pictures from Monday to Saturday. “Super Goals” is also included in the Monday edition of the newspaper during the football season and the “Sun Motors” pull-out is distributed with the paper on Fridays.

The Saturday edition of the Sun includes two sports supplements: “Super Goals” is featured from August to May and summarises the upcoming football matches for the weekend, “Favourite” contains information on horse racing. There is also a Saturday magazine called “TV Mag” which provides all of the listings and reviews on television programmes. To mark special occasions, the Sun often provides commemorative supplements.

Bought this newspaper as a 90th birthday gift for my dad, who loved it and didn't put it down all day (my mum had to confiscate it so he'd eat his dinner!). Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a special unique gift.

    Thank you for your review.

    We do apologise that this has happened with your order.

    Looking at the email communication with our Customer Service Team, unfortunately your original order went missing, which we do apologise for.

    Upon raising a replacement for you, you requested a change of delivery address and there was a crossover from your original address to the new address, and the 2 addresses merged together. As the replacement was sent out by courier, unfortunately we were not advised of any issues with the address, and your tracking kept showing the item was out for delivery. Finally we were advised, the issue was corrected and confirmed by the courier, but unfortunately there were still issues.

    Due to all the unfortunate issues, the item was returned and you were issued with a full refund.

    Please accept our apologies for any inconvenienced caused.

    Kindest Regards
    The Historic Newspapers Team
