A photo of an elderly couple helping a young man with his tie melted our hearts when it went viral last year.
The image was posted onto Facebook by Redd Desmond Thomas along with the caption: "The young guy sitting down was struggling with his tie. The woman in the red coat noticed, and asked 'Do you know how to tie it properly?' The young guy said 'No ma'am'.
"The older gentleman moved without hesitation (almost a reflex response) and gave him a step-by-step tutorial."
