Emotional moment great-granddad, 92, breaks down in tears after being reunited with his wife, 89, after three months apart

This is the emotional moment a great-grandfather burst into tears when his wife surprised him at a care home - after being away from her for three months due to them both being in hospital at different times.

A heartwarming video shows Malcolm Wareing, 92, sobbing uncontrollably before telling his wife of 69 years Edna, 89: 'I've missed you' as the pair go on to share a sweet kiss.

The former cast molten moulder had been pleading with staff at Chapel Lodge Care home, in Burnley, Lancashire, for months to 'promise' that they would bring his wife of 69 years to be with him.
