Two 80-year-old penpals meet for the first time

Have you ever had a pen pal? When was the last time you actually wrote a proper letter - not an email? Well here is a story that might put you in the mood - because two 80-year-old pen pals who have been writing to each other since the age of 12 in 1955 - have just met each other for the first time!

Patsy Gregory from Lancashire in the UK finally travelled 4,000 miles to meet Carol-Ann Krause in South Carolina.... Newshour's Rebecca Kesby has been speaking to Patsy - who started by describing how that first meeting went.
