David Goodings is a London-based radio and TV presenter. Recently, Goodings picked up his beloved "Nan" on her 85th birthday for a special ride in the car — but she had no idea that her grandson had planned the ultimate birthday surprise.
"I thought I would do something a little bit different for my nan this year," he wrote on YouTube. "Once she was in the car and thinking she was listening to the radio, she suddenly got the biggest shock of her life."
All of the sudden, the music cuts off and a broadcaster interrupts the radio with what sounds like very serious breaking news. But Grandma Iris is completely stunned when the broadcaster goes on to announce her birthday, saying, "Time now to hear some birthday messages."
Her grandson had secretly enlisted Iris' friends and family from all over the world to record personal messages for her. There's one from her baby granddaughter. There's another from her brother, who lives far away in Australia.
Needless to say, Iris begins sobbing. Goodings notices his grandmother wiping the tears away with tissues she kept in her purse. "Nan, don't get emotional!" he tells her. "I didn't want to upset you. We just wanted to show you how much you mean to us."
After Goodings' video went viral, he told Nan that she was quickly becoming internet-famous. He asked her how many views she thought it had. "100?"
But Nan was just a little off… because it's more like seven million views.
