RTE's Charlie Bird reduced to tears by wonderful candle gesture in online video

Charlie Bird has been reduced to tears after a wonderful candle gesture one year after his major fundraising event for Motor Neurone Disease.

The legendary RTE journalist, 73, shared an adorable clip on Thursday playing with his dog Tiger, but revealed he was now "crying" after he was moved by a gesture of support on the first anniversary of Climb With Charlie.

He wrote: "My Pal Tiger is so much fun. But I am crying now after just watching the video put up on social media by Phil Ni Sheaghdha of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, it is amazing support for lighting the candle on the first anniversary of climbwithcharlie. I love you all."
