A dead pigeon discovered recently in a chimney in Surrey may be able to provide new answers to the secrets of World War II.

The pigeon had a secret coded message attached to it, which has stumped code-breakers at GCHQ.

Can you help crack the code?

The pigeon message is as follows:

AOAKN HVPKD FNFJW YIDDC
RQXSR DJHFP GOVFN MIAPX
PABUZ WYYNP CMPNW HJRZH
NLXKG MEMKK ONOIB AKEEQ
WAOTA RBQRH DJOFM TPZEH
