This beautiful advert completely shames those of the superstores' with a simple, human message which is applicable to any time of year.

[@suew1877]

A real advert with no fake false woke nonsense added on !

[@steveforster9764]

As a widower of 12 years this rings home

[@denisegilmore88]

All my grandparents had passed over by the time I came along, so I love old people. I hate the way people treat them like they're just a burden. I love their company because they're generally wise, kind and up for a laugh.

So heartwarming, and i wish more people would be this compassionate when they see an elderly person on their own.

[@fayabogush2956]

I did cry. Our society is broken.

[@kellyrobinson6663]

Beautifully done advert, best of the year.

[@annettedalling8432]

How wonderful and emotional and full.of what should be the real spirit of Christmas. Thank you Charlie's Bar, well done!

[@lindacaswell9650]

I'm British and live over here in US. That is a beautiful ad! ❤ Ppl are lonely but we don't want anyone to know 😞

[@ghl3488]

Wonderful advert with no wokism or virtue signalling or misrepresentation of population diversity etc. Shows an elderly man who displays the utmost respect to everyone he encounters, even taking his cap off at the graveside and to others. This should be shown to youngsters in schools instead of the rubbish that is shown to them. Indoctrination into the mindset of that gent would be something I would agree with.

“We were brainwashed into being fearful of other human beings”. That made me cry more than anything. My son is now 14 and he’s still staying away from everyone. Thank you.

Fetched a lump in my throat , what a great advert, well done NORTHERN IRELAND 🇮🇪 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇬🇧🇬🇧💖💖💖💖

[@seanodoon]

when we used to go shopping in Enniskillen from South Sligo, my wife would go for a look around and I would go for an afternoon pint- never sat on my own once and I knew nobody-. Wonderful place, advert says it all. Good pub as well.

AT LAST!! A Christmas Advert that isn't flaunting greed or buy as much as you can gifts. Human; soulful & touching.

[@annhedges4243]

What a wonderful advert, it just shows you that you do not need to chuck millions at a Christmas advert to get the message across.

[@user-lw7bm6vx1k]

This advert is beautiful, the dog shows the elderly gentleman more kindness than most humans these days.

[@jeremykille4689]

A proper advert, respect.

[@buddyhell7100]

It gets so lonely growing old alone.

[@user-bq8sj9xf1g]
