Almost a decade after his wife died, lifelong singer Edwin Rayner said he found a reason to sing again.
The 92-year-old from Bournemouth, Dorset teamed up with his two granddaughters, Liv and Laura to set up a TikTok account.
He tells BBC South Today presenter Edward Sault how it all started.
During an appearance on the 18:30 GMT show, Mr Rayner said he was enjoying performing tunes from the likes of Taylor Swift and Snow Patrol - not just his favourite, Elvis Presley.
The grandfather-of-five has almost half a million followers on TikTok and says the reaction to his videos has been "unbelievable".
