The manager of Terry Pratchett's estate says he has honoured the late fantasy author's wishes by using a steamroller to destroy a hard drive containing his unpublished works.

Rob Wilkins posted a picture of himself near a steamroller and tweeted: "About to fulfil my obligation to Terry."

He followed up with an image of a broken hard drive and wrote: "There goes the browsing history…"

The hard drive was crushed by a vintage steamroller named Lord Jericho.

What is left of the object will go on display at England's Salisbury Museum in September, as part of the exhibition, Terry Pratchett: HisWorld.

Pratchett, one of Britain's best-loved authors who created the Discworld series and wrote 70 books, died in 2015 at the age of 66. He suffered from early onset Alzheimer's disease.
