Video shows viral 'Cinderella moment' at Electric Picnic as woman finds lens of man's sunglasses

The heartwarming moment a woman finds a man's sunglasses lens and gives it to him at Electric Picnic went viral on social media over the last few days.

Maryrose Simpson took the video at the festival and posted it on video app TikTok, where it had amassed over 1.5 million views by Monday.

The footage shows her hand, holding the single lens, as she makes her way through a crowd in front of the main stage.

She taps a man, now known only as David, on the shoulder and says: "I think I found your, eh, your glass."

The pair share a laugh and he says "really? Right, hold that" as he gives her his cup.

David adds: "Do you want to see if it's a match?"

Maryrose says: "Yeah I wanna see if it's a match!

David then replies: "Are we having a Cinderella moment, are we?

Maryrose laughs and says: "Yeah."

The video finishes as David says: "Fair play, what's your name?"

Maryrose put the video on Facebook after it had gone viral on TikTok and wrote: "EP Cinderella moment! So I’ve only went and gone viral with this video on TIK TOK- need to find David again. Check it - currently on 1.5M views."

Commenters on Reddit, where the video was upvoted thousands of times and garnered hundreds of comments, were losing it over the man's appearance.

One said: "Of course he turns around and he's stupid hot. She was far more composed than I would've been, geeeeee friggin willickers."

Maryrose replied on Reddit to this message with a post that read: "I think you missed my giggling mess."

Another said: "Damn he is a good looking guy."

Another Redditor said: "By god he's a beautiful man - he does the crinkly-warm-eye smile at the end. Love a crinkly-warm-eye smile."

And another commented: "And they lived happily ever after."
