A devoted Ayrshire son let his vulnerable elderly mum sit on his knee for almost six hours through a Tom Jones concert after the venue couldn't provide a chair.
Colin Malcher surprised mum Maria — who suffers from dementia and mobility issues — with last-minute tickets to see her idol at Edinburgh Princes Street Gardens as part of the capital's Summer Sessions event.
But he had to improvise to make sure Maria, 68, had the best and only 'seat' in the house after arriving at the gig and discovering wheelchairs were not allowed.
