00:00A construction worker has uncovered a time capsule from 1964 in Crystal Palace Park with
00:06Old English coins and a handwritten note. The letter, found beneath a statue during
00:11park regeneration work, describes winnings from a bet on a horse called Santa Claus in
00:17the Epsom Derby and suggests the finder should back a horse with a Christmas-themed name.
00:22Site manager Josh Smalls say he was stunned to then discover a runner this year called
00:27Christmas Day, calling the coincidence kind of spooky. He and the mayor of Bromley have
00:32since placed bets. The package was found beneath a bust of Sir Joseph Paxton, which is being
00:39moved as part of a £22m park upgrade.
