Surrey Comet editor Sean Duggan entertained members of Kingston Probus Club with a lively account of the paper's 150-year history at their July lunch meeting.
Members heard how Comet founder Thomas Philpott believed he had been divinely inspired to establish a paper to expose the bad and promote the good in Kingston. Mr Duggan told members: "The Comet is your newspaper I am merely looking after it for you."
