A 51-year-old man been reunited with part of a toy dart that he played with as a child - after he sneezed it out.
Steve Easton, from Surrey, was overcome by a sneezing fit and "a very uncomfortable sensation" before he felt something make its way into his left nostril and slowly unfurl itself.
After he retrieved it, Mr Easton was unable to work out what it was until he phoned his mother, Pat
.
She knew instantly it was a rubber sucker lost more than 40 years ago.
