Woman left emotional after finding letter her grandad sent to Santa 85 years ago

Santa is sent more than seven million letters from all over the world - and while he can't reply to them all, he always tries to make children's wishes come true. One woman has shared the adorable letter her grandad wrote to Father Christmas when he was a boy in 1937 - but sadly, she doesn't know whether he got his wish.

The letter, which includes a hand-drawn King George VI stamp on its envelope, reads: "Dear Santa Claus. Ten days from now, Christmas will be here. All little girls and boys at school and those who are ill in be will be made happier and know when you call. I would like a Meccano set and, hoping for the best, I wish you a merry Christmas."
