The workers at the McDonald's in Workington have gotten quite used to seeing Harry Scott come in.
Harry, who is a 93-year-old widower, comes in to eat at least six times every week and orders a happy meal.
Sadly, Harry's wife, Martha, passed away in 2009, leaving Harry both sad and alone.
But in 2013, Harry started frequenting the Workington McDonald's and, before long, had made friends with staff members and several other regular customers.
So when the staff of the McDonald's found out that Harry's 93rd birthday was approaching, they decided to do something very special for him.
The McDonald's staff members hung up banners and blew up balloons in honor of Harry's birthday. When he came in that day, they surprised him with whisky, shortbread, and the news that he would never have to pay for a Happy Meal again.
Harry said, "When they threw me the surprise party, I had to wipe my eyes."
The workers wanted Harry to know just how much he meant to them. One crew member, Jack Holliday, said, "We get regular customers, but he's one that stands out. He's bubbly and full of life, especially for a 93-year-old."
Now that he gets free Happy Meals for life, Harry plans to continue frequenting the McDonald's every day except for Sundays, when he visits his goddaughter.
Harry is so popular among the McDonald's staff and customers, that not only did they throw him a surprise party, but Harry now has his very own table for whenever he comes in.
The incredible generosity and kindness of these McDonald's workers show the true positive impact that we can have upon one another's lives.
Their small deed meant the world to Harry, and it is something he will remember as long as he lives.
