Twitter users are harnessing the power of social media in an attempt to return a 63-year-old wedding ring to its owner.
Jonathan Hopkin, 38, from Nottingham tweeted three images of the ring, which he said was found by his wife and was inscribed with the letters A and P.

“Right, need your help twitter folk,” Jonathan wrote. “My wife has found this wedding ring and it has the date 15.9.55 and the initials A and P inscribed on it.
“I know it’s a long shot but we’d love to get it back to who it belongs to.”
Social media soon jumped into action, retweeting the post in their thousands and offering detective work of their own.
Maybe a very long shot, but if married in ‘55, would have celebrated their diamond anniversary in 2015. Maybe worth checking with local papers to see if they had any personal ads celebrating diamond anniversaries in Sep 2015 🤷🏻♂️

“My wedding ring means so much to me, I’d love to be able to get it back to the owner or their family,” Jonathan told the Press Association.
My partners parents live in Nottingham and are of that generation. Am going to ask them if they can think of good local sources that could spread the word.
