A Boston cab driver who got a $100 reward from a man who left a backpack containing more than $187,000 in his taxi has been offered a free cruise.

Raymond "Buzzy" MacCausland found the money which had been left behind by a homeless man who had inherited it. Mr MacCausland handed it over to police, who confirmed its rightful owner.

Royal Caribbean offered 72-year-old Mr MacCausland and his girlfriend Sharon King a seven-day trip to the Caribbean, including air fare to Florida, as part of its Ticket To Adventure programme, which rewards people who perform "exceptionally selfless acts".
