Where can I buy a magnifying glass in the High Street?!
Question: It has to be quite lightweight, it's for my 80 year old mum to read with.

If you want a good one, opticians have them. If you want a cheap and nasty one, pound-shops have them too.
You might want to see about getting her a page-magnifier; an A5 Fresnel magnifying lens, that she can hold above the page.... or a line-magnifier; a half-cylinder of perspex that can be slid down the page line by line. They both work pretty well, but may not be high-street items.
Any opticians will sell you one and it will be good quality.
