This is the heart-warming moment a lonely pensioner was brought to tears last night when students brought him a Christmas tree and sang Silent Night at his door. Terrence, 78, was given some festive cheer at his home in Oldham, Greater Manchester, by BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker and Oldham College students. They visited him after he explained earlier in the day on the programme how he had been struggling with loneliness and did not have a Christmas tree at home. Terrence told BBC Breakfast: 'What used to happen, I used to go round to my mother's on Christmas Day because I always cooked a meal for her here. He added how he was going for Christmas dinner with Nancy, a 90-year-old woman with dementia whom he met through his work with the Age UK Oldham.
