George Lee, from Leicestershire, hoped to spread a little happiness with his performance of the famous Johnny Cash song.

The video, posted on the Facebook page of music management company DG Music, has now been view more than 12,000 times.
DG Music had reached out to its artists to see if they could send videos of performances to cheer people up during the coronavirus lockdown, which led Mr Britton to get in touch with a video from his 97-year-old pupil Mr Lee.
Introducing himself at the start of the video, filmed by his daughters, Mr Lee says: "I'm George. I'm 97. Oh dear! A Burma war veteran. Lived through a very sad time.
"Now we're going through another bad time, which is the coronavirus.
"But at least there's no bullets flying around.
"I've got a little song that you might like to hear, which most of you know anyway."
Mr Lee then starts playing the song on his ukulele and singing along, before signing off the video with "bye for now!"
He adds: "Be happy. Stay safe."
David Graham, director at DG Music, told the Evening Standard that Mr Lee was "chuffed to bits" to hear the video had gone viral.
"He just wanted to share his song and he's chuffed to bits and over the moon that it's having the effect he wanted - to cheer everyone up," he said.
He added: "We hope that the video makes you happy because that's the whole point - to spread some love.
"We would like to pass on our huge thanks to George's daughters who recorded and provided the video and to Dan Britton for making this all possible. We love you all."
