Toy Show

There’s something in our eye… those damn onions.

We were ready for the toys, for the laughs and for cringing at Ryan Tubridy’s Dad jokes, but we weren’t ready for this.

Just when we thought we were going to get through the Toy Show without resorting to tears, Sergeant Graham Burke, who is just back from Mali, where he has been completing his 6th tour of duty peacekeeping overseas, turned up out of the blue to provide the best Christmas surprise for his children, Adam, Kayla and Emily and his wife, Marie.

If you weren’t moved by this, then we’re afraid to say your heart is made out of stone.

The Toy Show has done it again.
