This 99-year-old man from Waterford has received a standing ovation at the World Tango Championships.
James 'Jim' McManus is representing Ireland at the globally recognised competition in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Jim set off for South America on August 10 for the annual event, along with his partner Lucia Seva - who's an Argentine native.
The WWII veteran, who will turn 100-years-old in January 2020, dressed in a white jacket, black trousers and tie for his first performance.
Before heading to the Tango Buenos Aires Festival, Jim told HavingALaf how eating well and dancing has helped him live so long.
In 2018, he told WLR FM: "It's no secret... eating the right sort of things, not eating the things which you shouldn’t eat and avoiding certain things, like too much booze and fags.
"Dancing is good exercise for the whole body, the brain, the arms, the legs, heart and everything."
His journey to Argentina was helped by pals who raised €2,400 on a GoFundMe page.
Jim, originally from Paisley in Scotland, dances every Tuesday as part of the Waterford Tango group.
