When one proud dad's newborn son arrived during the coronavirus pandemic, he was forced to introduce him to his grandfather through a pane of glass, with the heartbreaking moment captured in a photo.
Míchéal Gallachoir, from Ireland, was forced to hold newborn Faolán while his grandfather stood outside the house,
cruelly blocked from his grandson by social distancing rules.
The image has been shared over 70,000 times since it was posted to Twitter over the weekend by Gallachoir's sister Emma.
Users flooded the post with comments, with one saying that "the love in your dad's face says it all," while another said: "Thank you for modeling what we need to do to stay safe, but it breaks my heart to see that grandad not being able to hold his grandchild."
