Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, called the Sunday News after 1924, was an early Sunday newspaper in the United Kingdom, launched in 1842[3] and ceasing publication in 1931.
On 16 February 1896, Lloyd’s Weekly became the only British newspaper in the nineteenth century to sell more than a million copies. In its heyday, Lloyd's Weekly was so popular that the music hall artiste Mathilda Wood changed her name to Marie Lloyd “because everyone’s heard of Lloyd’s”.[4]
