London Heathrow Airport’s Christmas ad will make you cry

It's that time of year – the annual parade of emotional Christmas adverts. When vast, faceless corporations show their loving, tender sides.

With that in mind, meet Doris and Edward Bair. They are the furry faces for Heathrow Airport's nostalgic ad for 2017.

The two-minute video traces their first meeting 50 years ago, up to the present day.

It is not the first time that the pair has been celebrated at Christmas – they fronted the airport's ad in 2016.

Heathrow's commercial director Ross Baker said: "After an overwhelming response across the globe to Doris and Edward last year, we had to bring these lovable bears back to our screens.

"We hear from our passengers that there is no greater feeling than being wrapped in the arms of a loved one at Christmas.

"We wanted the advert to capture this unique feeling and make people feel even more excited to welcome friends and family this festive season," reports Wales Online.
