A man is travelling 37,000 miles around the world hand-delivering postcards to strangers which were left on a remote Pacific island as part of a 200-year-old tradition.

Londoner Jonny Beardmore has spent the last five months visiting countries across the globe after taking it upon himself to become "the Galapagos postman."

He collected 50 letters from an ancient post box on Isla Floreana in the Galapagos and is now forking out £50,000 delivering them by hand over the next 12 months.

Since setting off in March, the one-man delivery service has been knocking unannounced on intended recipient's doors - from the USA to Iceland to Brazil.

The 51-year-old will continue his journey for 365 days across seven continents until he drops off his final letter on March 1,2025 - while raising money for MND research.
