A handmade birthday card for a woman's 100th birthday will finally be delivered after it found in Skegness,

An appeal went out on the Skegness Standard's Facebook page this morning to anyone who knew the 'Joyce' named on the card to come forward.

Within minutes, the lady's granddaughter contacted Barry Robinson, who has been looking after the card since a dog walker found it at the boating lake.

The message read: "I have just seen an article that Skegness Standard has put on Facebook saying you have found a birthday card.

"Joyce Wright is my grandma. She was 100 in March and lives down Drummond Road.

"I’ve attached a photo to show you."

It had been feared someone may have stolen it from outside Joyce's home believing there may have been money in the envelope.

"This is great news we have found the owner," commented Barry.
