This is the emotional moment a man met the sister he never knew he had after he was given up for adoption at just one week old.
Keith Tyndall now lives in Romford, Essex with his wife Anne-Marie and features on the latest episode of ITV's Long Lost Family - where people are reunited with the relatives they thought they'd never be able to find.
In the most recent episode, Keith's sister Tracey Boyle goes to the Long Lost Family team with the mission to find her brother.
Tracey, from Port Talbot in South Wales, was told she had an older brother by her mother Diane when she was in her late 30s - but that she'd been forced to give him up for adoption by her parents or otherwise she couldn't return home.
Diane passed away in 2015 following a battle with leukaemia having never seen her son again - but Tracey sought to find her long-lost son once more in her memory.

After locating Keith's whereabouts, Long Lost Family captured the emotional moment the siblings met for the first time in person.
Keith travelled to a restaurant near Tracey's home in South Wales to meet her for the first time, admitting: 'I never thought this would happen at my age'.
After laying eyes on each other for the first time, the siblings shared an emotional hug.
Visibly teary-eyed, Tracey told her long-lost brother:‘You look so much like mum. Sorry it took so long, I’m really sorry.'
She described what Diane was like, telling him:‘She was a wonderful woman, she was so soft. She did love you and never forgot about you ever ever ever.
'I've always wanted an older brother.'
Despite the intensity of the moment, Keith then joked: 'You've got one now! Be careful what you wish for!'
Tracey then dropped another bombshell, telling Keith that they also have a sister and two more brothers.

She said: 'There’s four of us - well there’s five of us now! You’re the oldest so you love to be the boss!'
Earlier in the programme, Tracey had explained the tragic circ*mstances that had led to her being separated from her brother.
Diane, who was raised in Salisbury, had become pregnant with Keith when she was 16, and before she met Tracey's father.
Diane's parents had made her give him up for adoption after only spending a week with him, and she never saw him again.
Tracey recalled: 'They just came into the room and my mother was holding her baby and they just prized it away form her hands.
'I know I’ve got an older brother out there, and I’d like to find him and tell him how much my mother loved him.'
She said that when she was in her early 30s, Diane had a breakdown, meaning she was hospitalised for a long time.
After she returned, she told Tracey that she had a brother for the first time.Diane gave birth to Keith, then called Richard, in October 1960.

Tracey said:‘She said he was the most beautiful-est thing in the world. He had a mop of black hair and she absolutely idolised him.
‘She died with all that inside her, all that heartache and pain. It’s very sad.’
Diane told Tracey she believed he’d been adopted by two teachers in Salisbury.
But after the Long Lost Family team began to research what had happened, they realised Richard had actually been adopted in Swindon and was renamed Keith Tyndall.
The last trace of him in Swindon was over 30 years ago, and they discovered he worked in Germany, Jersey and the USA. After refocusing their attention on the UK, they located Keith in Romford, Essex.
Keith said he'd tried to find his birth parents when he turned 18, but that he'd never managed to find Diane again.
Host Nicky Campbell showed him a picture of Diane for the very first time, and Keith immediately noted the keen resemblance between himself and the mother he never knew.
In Monday's episode of Long Lost Family, part-time hairdresser and counsellor Liz Allward (pictured), 60, from North Somerset, finally meets her biological sister after nearly 40 years of searching

Elsewhere on Monday's episode, awoman who spent nearly 40 years longing to find her biological sister has revealed her joy at finally meeting her, adding that it still feels 'surreal'.
Part-time hairdresser and counsellor Liz Allward, 60, from North Somerset, was adopted as a baby and always had a strong 'intuition' that she had a birth sibling, despite never being told so.
Though Liz had a happy childhood, she always felt a sense of 'loneliness', exacerbated by her adoptive family moving around a lot, making it difficult for Liz to maintain friendships.
It was on her wedding day in 1996 at the age of 23 that her adoptive mother informed her that she had an older biological sister, but with few other details, Liz was unable to locate her.
After years of failed attempts to locate her biological sister, Liz contacted ITV's Long Lost Family on a whim, unexpectedly leading her to the information she had longed to know for years and, most importantly, her biological sister, Deborah.
Long Lost Family is available to watch now on ITV.
