See-saw, Marjorie and Dawn

It's not often that a picture story appears in both the Sun and the FT. But neither paper could resist photos of senior citizens testing out the rides on a new "pensioners' playground" in Manchester.

"The £15,000 facility, the first of its kind in Britain, features six pieces of fitness equipment designed to provide gentle exercise for the over 60s," says the FT.

"Old on tight", says the Sun.

There are more pictures on a Guardian gallery here.

The six rides are designed to provide "gentle toning of the hips and legs", according to the Times.

Joan Fitzgerald, 76, isn't so sure. But she told the Times: "What it does do is make you start laughing, and that is a fine tonic for anybody."
