Retro armchair bought from a flea market has a secret photo album hidden inside - buyer finds owner through Facebook

A seemingly ordinary chair bought from a flea market had a secret hidden inside when a scriptwriter found a photo album.

The photos show a young man posing with family and friends in the 1960s and 1970s.

Thirty-four-year-old Oli Lansley found the lost album when he took home a second-hand armchair from a furniture sale near in Brockley, south London.

So Mr Lansley posted the pictures on Facebook to see if he could find the owner.

The post on Facebook quickly went viral as it was shared more than 20,000 times before Mr Lansley was contacted by the daughter of 58-year-old Noel Douglas.

It turned out to be the man pictured in the photographs.

Mr Douglas, who lives in Crystal place thinks he lost the album when he was moving house 20 years ago.
