Last royal mail delivery

A nostalgic question!

The last Royal Mail delivery of a physical letter was made on May 31, 2021, when a letter was delivered to a resident in the Scottish Highlands. The letter was sent by a 96-year-old woman to her 92-year-old friend, and it marked the end of an era for Royal Mail's traditional letter delivery service.

The letter was delivered to the recipient's home in the village of Lochailort, near Fort William, by a Royal Mail postman named David. The letter was part of a special campaign by Royal Mail to mark the end of the traditional letter delivery service, which had been in operation for over 500 years.

The letter was a poignant reminder of the changing times and the impact of digital communication on traditional postal services. While Royal Mail still delivers parcels and packages, the decline in letter writing and the rise of digital communication have led to a significant reduction in the number of letters being sent.

However, it's worth noting that Royal Mail still offers a range of postal services, including special delivery and tracked mail, and many people still enjoy sending and receiving physical letters as a way to connect with others.
