This is the heartwarming moment a woman who was abandoned in a train carriage at birth met her half-brother for the first time.
On Monday night's episode of ITV's Long Lost Family: Born Without a Trace, Christine, 76, was introduced to Barry, 77, who burst into tears at the sight of his younger sibling.
After years of searching for answers about their parents, it was the first time both had met birth family who aren't their children.
Christine had only been about five weeks old at the time, and was discovered by a porter who heard her whimpering.
It was through Barry's birth certificate that the team were able to reveal to Christine the name of her birth mother, Joyce Norma Brockwell - and that she had a brother.
