Sorry, there appears to be something in my eye.
Some totally lovely McDonald’s staff have thrown a surprise birthday party for a 93-year-old who eats at their store, alone, almost every day.
Harry Scott has been visiting his local McDonald’s in Workington, Cumbria, at least six days a week (except Sundays when he goes to his goddaughter’s), since 2013.
The pensioner lost his wife Martha six years ago, and with no children, soon became very lonely.
However since becoming a regular at his local MaccyD’s, Harry has found a sense of community and companionship: ‘The kids who come in here are mine as I don’t have any of my own. It’s company for me,’ he said.

So when his 93rd birthday rolled around, the staff new they wanted to do something special.
The team put up banners and balloons around Harry’s usual table, gifted him with whiskey and shortbread, and of course, his usual Happy Meal was on the house. In fact, staff told him the he can have his Happy Meals for free from now on.
A grateful Harry exclaimed: ‘When they threw the surprise party I had to wipe my eyes.’
McDonald’s worker, Jack Holliday, said: ‘He’s a one-off. We get regular customers but he’s one that stands out.
‘He’s bubbly and full of life, especially for a 93-year-old.’
Sod it, pass the tissues.
