Read all about it!
Paper boys and girls dash from the old printing works of the Luton News in Alma Street with an edition hot off the press.
A need for better reports on Luton Town FC and a more-balanced coverage of politics led to the start of the Luton News on November 12, 1891.
Now that a July 4 general election has been confirmed, can someone please tell our political leaders during the next six weeks of campaigning that short-sleeve shirts are available?

I still get emotional about Luton Town FC, the football club I've supported through thick and thin for 63 years, and while reading this from Hatters captain Tom Lockyer, who nearly lost his life during a game this season, I'm not ashamed to say it brought a few tears to my eyes.
George Best, who would have been 78 today, pictured before he played for Dunstable Town FC 💙 v Luton Town FC at Dunstable's Creasey Park, mid 70s.
L to r: Dunstable manager Barry Fry, George Best, Hatters players Andy King, Peter Anderson and Alan West, and Luton manager Harry Haslam.
A double fond farewell.
Luton Town FC said goodbye to the Premier League yesterday and the club's directors later went along to the Bricklayers Arms in High Town Road, Luton, to wish landlady Alison Taylor a happy retirement after a remarkable 38 years at the pub.
I know someone who has had a bet on Luton Town FC staying in the Premier League.
It's a 63,000 to 1 shot with the Hatters beating Fulham 6-0 and Burnley defeating Forest by the same score on Sunday.
You would get £6,300 from a 10p double.
Born on this day 98 years ago (May 14, 1926), Eric Morecambe, comedian, Luton Town FC supporter and one of the funniest men this country has produced.
I know his shows with Ernie Wise are often repeated, but Eric was taken far too young at the age of 58 and we still miss him.
RIP former Luton Town FC player Viv Busby, who has died aged 74.
I enjoyed watching him for the Hatters in the early '70s alongside his forward partner Malcolm Macdonald.
Busby also played for Wycombe and Newcastle and was in the Fulham 1975 FA Cup final team.
It's all very well Nottingham Forest have their appeal against a 4-point reduction thrown out as it may help Luton Town FC but they should have been docked 2 more points for their cheek.
Bloody hell!
I know Luton Town FC somehow managed to lose at home to them, but Sheffield United really are s**t, aren't they?
Everton boss Sean Dyche playing for Luton Town FC and challenged by future Hatter Steve Howard, playing for Northampton.
