A lonely 93-year old who eats Mcdonald's Happy Meals almost every day to cope with the death of his wife has been thrown a surprise birthday party by the restaurant.
Harry Scott began visiting his local restaurant in Workington, Cumbria, at least six times a week following the death of his wife Martha. He has become such a popular customer that he even has his own table.
This week, to thanks Mr Scott for his custom, staff at the restaurant put up banners and balloons to celebrate his 93rd birthday.

As well as buying him whisky and shortbread, they also told Mr Scott that he can now have his usual Happy Meals for free.
He said: 'The kids who come in here are mine as I don't have any of my own. It's company for me.
'When they threw the surprise party I had to wipe my eyes.'
Mr Scott lost his wife six years ago. Then, in 2013, he started going to McDonald's, where he began making friends with the staff and other customers.
He now goes every day, apart from Sundays, when he goes to his goddaughter's for a meal.

The pensioner, from High Harrington, normally goes to the fast food chain early in the afternoon for a Happy Meal. Sometimes, he then goes back for dinner.
He says he only ever orders as Happy Meal as he has a small appetite.
Jack Holliday, crew member, said: 'He's a one-off. We get regular customers but he's one that stands out.
'He's bubbly and full of life, especially for a 93-year-old.'
