Spalding market trader surprised by colleagues for 75th birthday

Spalding market traders surprised their colleague Tony Schofield to mark his 75th birthday.

He was on holiday for the actual day so friends on the market presented him with gifts on Saturday (April 30) – after a little distraction.

Tony said: “They got me to go to a shop and when I came back there was this crowd at my stall.
“It was a lovely surprise and I’m very thankful.”

Tony’s Bygones has been on the market for 17 years.
