What's happening with the postal service in Denmark?
After more than 400 years, Denmark's state postal service PostNord has announced it will stop delivering letters to people living in the country.
This doesn't mean letters will stop being delivered altogether though - private companies will still be able to provide this service.
PostNord says it will switch its focus to parcel deliveries and that any postage stamps bought this year or in 2024 can be refunded for a short time in 2026.

The changes mean 1,500 people will lose their jobs out of a workforce of 4,600.
Since the year 2000, letter numbers have fallen dramatically from 1.4 billion to 110 million last year.
It's thought the move will affect older people most, and Danish MP Pelle Dragsted said it would be really difficult for people in remote areas of the country.
