An elderly Irish couple are keeping their spirits up during the coronavirus lockdown by singing and dancing together.
Johnny and Carmel Kierans are both 80 years old but seem decades younger as they dance around their living room.
Ireland has gone into lockdown in a bid to stop the spread of the potentially deadly virus.
It means everyone must stay at home unless they are heading out for an essential reason such as buying food or medicine.
Johnny and Carmel are at a particular risk due to their age.
Thankfully, the pandemic hasn’t forced the Kierans to lose their sense of fun and the Drogheda couple have found a great way to pass the time.
They sang and danced to their song of choice, which was appropriately Stayin’ Alive by the Bee Gees.
Their video has delighted fans around the world who are taking inspiration from the couple’s positive attitude.
Take a look at the video below.
