A PICTURE in the newspaper has reunited two long-lost family members. 

Jean Shaw, 88, said she was over the moon when she spotted her nephew Don Styler in the Malvern Gazette. 

Don Styler, artist, attended the Three Counties Show on Friday (June 17) and showcased his artwork throughout the day.

The Malvern Gazette attended the event and put together a picture spread for the paper. 

Mrs Shaw, from Brackenhursts in Malvern, spotted a photo of Mr Styler on page six of the newspaper and got in touch with the paper.

Jean Shaw says she lost touch with her nephew due to members of her family moving around the country and losing track of one another.

Mrs Shaw said: "I was so upset because I haven't seen him since he was a teenager. It was lovely, he phoned me and he's coming to see me.

"I was really pleased that I opened the paper and saw it. His mum would have been so proud of him.

"When I saw the name, I rang the paper and then they passed on my number and he's coming to see me.

"I can take him out for a meal and get to know him again.

"He was a lovely little boy, I'm from a big family and my mom and dad had 12 children. 

"I'm the only one left in the family out of 12.

"I was over the moon, to think that someone is still alive in my family. 

"It's been a long long time since I've seen him.

"I can't remember how long it's been but it's been lovely to get back in touch. 

Don Styler rang his aunt on Monday (June 29) and said he is happy to be reunited after 'a long time.'
