A man was reunited with his false teeth after losing them 11 years ago on a holiday to Benidorm.
Paul Bishop was on holiday with friends back in 2011 when he was left vomiting in a bin after an "all-day drinking session" and later realised he had lost his false teeth.
The Spanish authorities have since tracked down Paul using his DNA after his dentures were found in a landfill, the MEN reports.

When his dentures turned up in the post to his Stalybridge home, he said he was "stunned".
The 63-year-old said: "It was my mate's 50th birthday and we'd been out drinking since midday.
"It was about 11pm and I'd had nothing to eat all day.
"We had a lot of beer, so I had a pint of cider instead.
"I had half of it left when my mates said we were moving on. I washed it down in one but could feel it coming back up.
"As we were leaving, I noticed this big green bottle bin so sloshed it all out."
The next day, Paul realised the top set of his teeth were missing and realised they must have been in the bin.
However, despite rummaging around, the bin had later been emptied and he was forced to spend the remainder of the holiday without his top set of dentures.
Upon returning home, he spent £600 on a new set of teeth and that was the end of the matter - until the old set arrived in the post this week, eleven years on.
Alongside his teeth was a letter addressed to 'Senor Paul', which stated that his teeth had been found and placed in storage for 'many years' before a lab technician identified him through DNA.
The letter read: "I have great pleasure in returning, and hope they find you well and hope soon you return to visit Spain, but be more careful".
Paul said: "I couldn't believe it. I was stunned. I've moved address since 10 years ago.
"Someone has gone out of their way to trace me.
"They are in perfection condition and look brand new.
"Someone has obviously taken the time to scrub them."
He said he cannot wear them again but wants to "keep them" and is thinking of keeping them in a "little glass container".
