MILLAND's favourite postie has just retired from service after delivering letters and parcels around the village for the last 37 years.

Keith Jones, who will be 65 in October, joined the Milland round in April 1974, having started as a postman in Petersfield in 1969.

By the time of his retirement last month, he was covering more than 170 addresses in the village.
