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," he added.
