Gran rubbishes 'world's oldest Easter egg' claims as 'she's owned one for 73 years'
£80 a month to keep refrigerated.However, 80-year-old June Dawlton claims to have beaten her record by 11 years.June was gifted the egg 73-years-ago by her brother, and it has since survived three house moves without so much as a crack.Speaking to the Daily Mirror, June said: "I had it when I was a seven-year-old and I'm nearly 81, so that's quite old. It was a nice white sugar one, and inside was a little cardboard boy and girl I think, with a little lamb."Now the sugar has turned brown but I'm still holding onto it."A couple of years ago it was still white with a bit of brown, but now it's totally brown."The Easter egg, which is older than Meryl Streep, and the moon landing, was crafted while King George VI was still on the throne.
