“The really lovely thing is the letter was from a 102-year-old called Judy Bray about her husband Charlie, to whom she was married for 71 years before he sadly died.

“He had served in Italy so she was sharing some anecdotes about him before the talk in Salisbury that she was coming along to,” he said.

“The envelope had that beautiful, old-fashioned, scratchy handwriting which I used to get a lot of when I was spending time writing to war veterans but sadly much less so these days.

“How fantastic that presumably it got to the Salisbury sorting office and then got to Andy, who is our brilliant local postman and much loved by the village community.”
