An elderly widower is being forced to raid his own funeral fund to pay a big British Gas bill - as the firm’s owner revealed record profits of more than £100 a second.

Yet while the pensioner resorts to using money for his own send off, energy giant Centrica yesterday unveiled that annual profits had more than tripled to £3.3billion.
