It’s a postcard from the past – a battered holiday memory that landed on a stunned couple’s doormat almost a quarter of a century after it was sent.
The card, depicting an idyllic beachfront scene in Paignton, Devon, was intended to reach the property’s former owners in June 1987.
But Royal Mail bosses have been left scratching their heads over why the postcard took more than 24 years to arrive.

The card was originally sent to Garry and Esme Ward in Basingstoke, Hampshire.
It is unclear who the senders were but, in typical British fashion, they wrote about the weather and their hopes for a heat wave as forecast.
The card never arrived at its intended destination and the Wards sold the property to Linda and Martin Jakeway 20 years ago.
Sales manager Linda, 47, said: ‘It was a bit of a shock when it arrived.
‘We saw how faded and tatty it was so knew something must be wrong with it, but we really were surprised when we saw the date it was sent!
‘We used to get a couple of bills and things like that coming through for them when we first bought the house, but to get something after more than 24 years is very surprising.

‘If they still want it, we have kept it safe.’
The card arrived in a Royal Mail clear plastic envelope, and the postmark reads June 29, 1987.
Royal Mail spokeswoman Valerie Antoine said: ‘It is extremely unlikely this item of mail was in our system all this time.
‘Without actually seeing the item, it’s difficult to speculate what may have happened.
‘It was almost certainly put back in a postbox very recently, as we regularly check all our sorting offices and machines are cleared.
‘As this item may have just been reposted, it may have been damaged by our sorting machine, hence the plastic envelope.’
