In just days, a video of Amy singing the World War One classic, "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" earned over 100,000 views, plus loads of hearts and happy comments. Her great-grandson captioned the video: "110-year-old great-grandma is celebrating her birthday with some jolly songs 24/01/1911."
A British supercentenarian born in 1911, Amy danced professionally as a teen, and then became a window-dresser, marrying George Hawkins in 1937. The couple had a daughter, Rosemary Morris, in 1947.
When her beloved husband passed in 1996, she moved in with Rosemary and her husband, Rob. And, she's since formed a bond with great-grandson Sacha that's warming hearts everywhere.
Great-Grandson Helps 110-Year-Old Go Viral
After sharing the sensational birthday video, Sacha shared in another TikTok video that, "My 110-year-old great-grandma loves singing, I'm learning a new one from her everyday!!" The two have formed a special relationship while hunkering down together as a family to outlast the COVID-19 pandemic.
One source says that Amy's mother had discouraged her many decades ago from touring with the dance company because it was "unladylike." But Sacha knew this sweet 110-year-old lady still longed to perform and bless others with her talent.
So, on the advice of his mom, Hannah Freeman-Sacha made Amy's birthday wish come true.
Her sweet song, delivered whilst cozied in a crochet-draped chair, can be enjoyed below. It's already garnered thousands of hearts on TikTok, and is surely delighting more hearts still.
A British news source reports Hannah Freeman is loving the reactions to Amy and Sacha's TikTok videos, saying it's "restored her faith in humanity." Apparently, 110-year-old Amy has been singing post-war era songs since she was a little girl.
