A lovely 90-year-old widower's appearance on Channel 4's First Dates has taken over Facebook

Pass the tissues.

THE NEW SERIES of First Dates is ticking along nicely on Channel 4 – with the second episode airing this week.

And one lovely couple have become a slow-burning sensation on Facebook - with nearly 4 million views of their date in less than 24 hours.

90-year-old Raymon was the oldest ever dater to request a part on the show – and the producers paired him with Cecilia.

And their whole date was just the best – and it’s become an absolute phenomenon overnight

They both discussed what brought them on to a dating show, and both shared the stories of how they lost their partners

They were together 50 years – but Raymon feels she would have approved of the First Dates meal

Before they left the restaurant, they had a quick waltz

Raymon:

We could have a meal together, we could talk about what we have done since we last met. And so forth.

Pass the tissues. Again.
