A woman who lost her wallet at Glastonbury festival has had it returned to her as she left it by an anonymous sender - three months after the event.

In a social media post which has gone viral, Becky Spencer, from London, described how she lost her wallet due to “absent mindedness” at the festival.

However, on Friday, she received a package containing her purse.

“To my surprise it was the wallet I had lost this year at your joyous festival,” Ms Spencer wrote on the Glastonbury 2017 Facebook page, “complete with all my cards and three crisp £20 notes I had only just received from the cashpoint before misplacing it," she said,

“There was no note included, and whoever posted it, spent £7.35 on sending it recorded delivery to ensure it was safely received.

“I want to say a huge thank you to whoever found it and didn’t steal the money and I want to say a huge thank you to whoever sent it and didn’t steal the money.”

Ms Spencer said she wanted to repay the person who sent her wallet back and struck an optimistic note: “It is fair to say that little things like this remind us that despite the awful goings on in the world that we are consistently bombarded with, we may well live in the most honest time for our society and most people are trying to be wonderful human beings.”

“I will do my best to pay this kind deed forward,” she concluded.

Glastonbury is one of the largest music festivals in the world and attracts more than 100,000 people every year.

In 2016, it was headlined by Muse, Adele and Coldplay.
