This is the heartwarming moment a World War Two veteran held hands with his daughter for the first time in almost a year.
The easing of coronavirus restrictions at Millfield Care Home in Oldham meant that resident Eric Bradshaw, 95, was able to be reunited with his daughter Ruth.
Mr Bradshaw, a signalman during the war, said he ‘could not put into words’ how it felt to be close to her again, after the pandemic forced them apart for 11 months.
