PEOPLE from around the world are coming forward to try to crack a Second World War message found on the leg of a dead pigeon -- but it remains a mystery.
The code, hand-written on a sheet of paper headed Pigeon Service, was found in a red canister attached to the bird's skeleton up a chimney at a house in Surrey, England.
Experts from UK intelligence agency GCHQ have said the message, which has 27 five-letter code groups, is impossible to crack without its codebook and codebreakers from around the world have now also been left stumped by the riddle.

The trailer hit a wall, tipped over and landed in the garden of a house.
The fire service dispatched 30 people to help clear up the tons of fir trees.
