A self-confessed chocoholic has kept an unopened Easter egg for 62 years after believing the gift was “too pretty to eat”.
Hillion Fern was just 13-years-old when she was given the sweet treat by her late father Aubrey Daulman.
The chocolate egg, bought from a local shop called Sharps, is decorated with yellow icing in the shape of daffodils and contains a bag of toffees and chocolates.
The Mirror reports that the 75-year-old spends £80-a-month on a cool storage container to keep the chocolate from melting.
Hillion, a retired wildlife trust worker and great-grandmother, says she still remembers the day she was given the egg in 1960 and she plans to keep it for the rest of her life.
The egg is stored in Warwickshire, despite her no longer living in the area.
Hillion, who has two grown-up children, four grandchildren and one great-grandchild, said: "I still remember the day I was given it.
"It was simply too pretty that I didn't want to eat it.
"I thought to myself, 'I'll keep it until Whitsun' but I then never ate it, so then I thought, 'Oh, I will keep it until Christmas' and then Christmas came and went.
"It became a bit of a challenge after that to see how long I could hold out."
She continued: "I am quite impressed with my willpower because I have always loved chocolate.
"There was something special about the egg I wanted to keep and after a while it became too precious to eat.
"I'm sure it's a world-beater. I've heard of old Easter eggs before but never unwrapped. I'm confident this is a record.
"To protect the egg from melting I paid for it go into storage. It might seem silly but I want to make sure it remains in perfect condition.
"It's in Warwickshire but I have moved to be nearer my daughter in Wales but when I did live
