A 92-YEAR-OLD Bradford man was overjoyed to receive a meal from a rugby league legend.

From October 31 to November 4, it is National Meals on Wheels Week - a time to celebrate and spread awareness from an institution the UK’s elderly benefit from.

Yesterday (Wednesday) one lucky Bradford Park Care Meals customer had a special delivery.

Ex-Bradford Northern, Wigan and Leeds loose forward Ellery Hanley was on hand to serve up a two-course hot meal for Wally.

Meals on Wheels services not only provide a nutritional meal, but they also enable people to live independently in their own homes for longer and help reduce social isolation with daily contact.
