Whatever you do… don’t look down!

It really happened! A couple who used to go dancing at the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool visited the venue one last time, thanks to their granddaughter's online plea. Olivia Watts reached out for help on TikTok in a bid to get her grandparents to the Tower Ballroom before her grandfather - who has Alzheimer's disease - goes into a care home. Ron Hill, 82, headed up the entertainment at the Empire Hotel in the resort for 20 years, until 1986, and he and his wife Marilyn, 80, would often enjoy a dance together in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. This morning, they were welcomed back for a private dance accompanied by the resident organist - and Ron even had the chance to try his hand at the famous Wurlitzer organ! We hope their visit gave them a beautiful moment to hold onto ❤️
