Heartwarming pictures show the moment a Scots student surprised his parents after not seeing them for two years due to strict lockdown measures in Australia.
Ciara and Erin McNair arranged for brother Joe to fly home from Sydney earlier this month to surprise parents Frances and Dale McNair.
The triplets planned the emotional reunion so the whole family could spend Christmas together at home in Ayr – after missing out last year due to Covid restrictions.
Joe, 20, studies at Hillsong College, in Sydney, and had been unable to fly back home due to guidelines that meant it would be difficult for him to get back into the country.
Last year, he wouldn’t have been able to return for his second year of studies so decided to stay put until restrictions eased.
But last week the sisters documented the moment they picked up Joe from Glasgow Airport and reunite him with his parents.
The amazing video shows Frances, 59, and Dale, 60, sitting on a sofa with blindfolds on.
Joe then sneaks through the door silently but the family dog Lexie immediately recognises him and jumps up to him.
Ciara then counts to three before her parents remove their blindfolds. Joe then shouts, “Hello” as Frances and Dale are captured putting their hands over their mouths in shock.
Frances then walks over to Joe for a hug and bursts out crying and Dale joins in.
