Viewers tuning into last night's episode of ITV's Long Lost Family were left in tears as a guest broke down crying after seeing his father's grave for the very first time. James Ford, who was born and grew up in West Yorkshire, shared an emotional moment on the show as he put down flowers on his dad's place of rest.
"There you go, Dad," the 73-year-old said as he placed the bouquet down, before reading out the words on the gravestone: "Died aged 42, wow. 'In loving memory of a dear husband and Dad'." He then added: "If he was a Dad then there was an offspring somewhere. I wonder if that is a boy or a girl. My goodness gracious, a half brother or sister. Mind-blowing."
During the episode, James, who lives in Carcassonne, France, with his wife, said he would always ask about his biological father while growing up but was never told anything about him. He even tried to track him down via DNA websites, but to no avail.
