An appearance by a grandmother and her grandson on BBC One's The Repair Shop saw viewers heap praise and respect on the duo, after leaving some people in tears. Heather McPherson took along her grandson Jacob, 12, to get their run-down family table fixed.
It was thought the table was made in the Victorian era, showing its age, wear and tear over the years. Speaking about the history behind the table, Heather explained how much the table meant to her. She said: "It's always been in my life.
"It was the family table when my kids - Jacob's dad and his aunt - were growing up. Because it's a kitchen table, the conversations we had around it, you know, first boyfriends, first girlfriends, we'd just sit across the kitchen table and chat about stuff.
