This postman is doing his rounds in fancy dress to lift people’s spirits

This hilarious postman has been delivering the post in fancy dress bringing letters and a laugh to everyone in the area.

The arrival of the postie has become an exciting part of the average lockdown day, a new face and a new person to chat to.

So with that in mind, this postman in Boldon has taken it one step further, opting for fancy dress to really lift the spirits of the people in the area.

Jon Matson, 39, hit the streets in all kinds of characters from Little Bo Peep to a Gladiator and even a Cheerleader.

He told Sunderland Echo why he swapped his regular uniform for something a bit more fun saying: “Everyone is uncertain at the moment and you are the only person outside of the family that they see, so why not give them something to smile about?

“It’s really nice to see people come out to see me. Seeing everybody helps me keep my spirits up too.”

To keep up his amazing work, Jon has been collecting new outfits from family members to make sure he can continue every day.

He’s keeping his next outfits secret and told everyone to keep their eyes peeled for him coming down the street/catwalk.
