Postman is doing his rounds in fancy dress to cheer up families

In these uncertain times, it is understandable that many of us will be growing more and more anxious with each passing day.

With so much pain and upset occurring all over the world, it is important to celebrate the people doing what they can to put smiles on the faces of others. Such as this incredible postman from Bolden, England.

Jon Matson was already playing a key role in his community - ensuring the local residents were receiving letters and birthday cards from loved ones - but he has gone the extra mile to make sure the families on his round have their spirits lifted.

How? By heading to work in fancy dress!

Introducing his idea to the world, Jon wrote on Instagram: "So while this virus grips the world I still have to go to work and deliver post, today I done it in style and made a few people smile. That was the ultimate goal."

So far, Jon has dressed up as a cheerleader and Little Bo Peep in a bid to spread some joy - and he has promised that he's not stopping there.

One Bolden resident managed to snap a picture of Jon and shared it to Facebook, along with the caption: "love the postman [...] doing his job with a smile and a very interesting choice of uniform [...] this is how us Brits keep the spirit of the community alive [...] well done royal mail #legend #onlyinboldon"

According to the Sunderland Echo, Jon, who lives with partner Nila and children Jay and Beau, frequently takes part in the Boxing Day Dip in South Shields every year for charity, meaning he had a collection of costumes ready and waiting to choose from.

One Instagram user, cameronj098, commented: "Good on you for helping humanity in these tough times", while another, ellasharpe17, called Jon a "Bloody legend!"

And we couldn't agree more, Jon! Well done, we look forward to seeing your daily outfits.
