Only a couple of days ago was I thinking that we were due for another of those newspaper stories about a postcard being delivered decades late. I've just read this:
Postcard sent from WW2 veteran arrives in UK 77 years late
'A Royal Mail spokesperson said it is “difficult to speculate on what may have happened to this item of mail” although it was likely “put back into the postal system by someone recently, rather than being lost or stuck somewhere in the network”.'
Another delayed postcard

Re: Another delayed postcard
Today's Daily Telegraph has a letter from a Suffolk resident who has received four postcards with Margate 1905 and 1906 postmarks. Two were addressed his house, two to the same addressee in another house in the village that no longer exists.

Re: Another delayed postcard
Another one, obviously put back into the system - note the dealer's annotation next to the postmark. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4gqzp2ejlzo
