A dad who last saw his son as a baby when he was forced to give him up for adoption has been reunited with him 55 years later after a TV show traced him to Australia.
Retired farmer Richard Standen, 73, has an emotional meeting with Darren, who flew 10,000 miles back to his birthplace thanks to ITV’s Long Lost Family.
Richard met first love Christine aged 15 and two years into the relationship she became pregnant and was sent away by her mother to have the baby in secret.
