Newspaper from earlier in August- Small Favour :)

Hi OCUK!

Long shot this but I thought I would try anyway

Our son was born on 6th August, and my other half is keen to keep a copy of a newspaper from the day he was born. Stupidly I didn't think to buy one on the day

Would anyone happen to have a national newspaper from the 6th August they no longer need? Happy to make a payment/ charity donation to secure it

Thanks!

Can buy a pristine one if you cant find someone with a copy, I dont buy papers myself. I have not used the site, just googled.

Not exactly the same but one of the bots on https://www.reddit.com/r/ukpolitics/ posts the front pages from each paper every day. Here's the one for the 6th which you can download:

Thanks for this guys! I knew finding someone with the actual paper was a long shot so this will help

Remind her it's 2020 and print is dead. Cache a webpage instead!
