Скачать или смотреть Grantham couple get back 1962 love letters found in canal (UK) 24/July/2025

Love letters written in 1962 that a woman found in a canal have been reunited with their rightful owners - a couple married for 60 years.

A total of 32 handwritten letters, tied together with blue ribbon, had been postmarked in Nottingham and addressed to the then Janet Millington in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

In May, a woman recovered the letters while magnet fishing near the Fort shopping park in Birmingham and posted pictures on social media.

And following an appeal on BBC Midlands Today, the letters - which had been stolen in a burglary - are now back with the couple 80 miles away, Arthur and Janet Sims in Grantham in Lincolnshire.

Mr Sims, known as Arch, said: "An old friend phoned us up. We [were] on holiday in Norfolk, and she says, 'You've just been on the telly.'"
