Ever fancied being king for a day? How does ten years sound? 👑
That’s what happened Aaron Sanderson, 33, who became the latest person in a centuries-long tradition to be crowned ‘King’ of a tiny Cumbrian island after becoming landlord of its only pub.
Speaking previously about his new position, Aaron admitted he ‘never thought’ he would be selected as the island’s only king, which he called his ‘own slice of heaven’. ‘But in the mornings, I’ll sit out the front having a brew, and it’s like your own little slice of heaven. It really is something else when there’s nobody else here.
Barrow Borough Council, who managed the process, advertised for the unusual role in December 2021 – attracting interest from nearly 200 applicants around the world. ‘It’s a vast difference to what I was doing and a big leap, really. But I just thought, “I need to do this”, and I didn’t want to see the place shut again.’
