'Heart warming' moment children sing along and dance with elderly woman on Metrolink

A ‘heart warming’ clip of an elderly woman enjoying the sounds of Neil Diamond with a group of teenagers on the Metrolink has gone viral online.

Dr Carl Austin-Behan, former Lord Mayor of Manchester, and Greater Manchester LGBTQ+ Community Ambassador for LGBT Foundation, shared a video of the woman, who has now been named as 77-year-old Susan Rogers, singing along to Sweet Caroline after the teenagers put the song on their speakers.

On Twitter, Carl posted: “How heartwarming is this! Some young people on @MCRMetrolink @OfficialTfGM playing random “modem” music realising an older person was on the tram started playing @NeilDiamond - look at the joy and excitement in her face.”
