This is the heartwarming moment two long-lost brothers separated as children in 1945 were finally reunited after spending 77 YEARS apart.
Ted Nobbs, 83, was able to give his brother Geoff, 79, a hug for the first time in more than seven decades after their family was divided up at the end of World War Two.
The pair met in Australia after Ted flew out last week to see little brother Geoff, who moved Down Under after being adopted in 1951.
After spending 77 years and 10,000 miles apart from each other, moving video footage captured the siblings tearfully embracing at Sydney Airport.

00:00 If the mountain can't come to Muhammad, Muhammad will go to the mountain.
00:04 And I'll go and see my brother.
00:09 My name is Edward Knott, better known as Ted.
00:22 This is myself. This one here, Jeffrey.
00:25 He was adopted when he was two years old.
00:29 And I've never seen him.
00:31 Mum died when she was 30.
00:33 And Dad was left with us four boys.
00:36 And I believe that Dad had this photograph taken
00:39 so that we all knew one another and we could look back.
00:44 He went away, and the adoptive parents took him to Australia.
00:48 I understand he didn't have the best of lives out there in his young days.
00:54 He's been married twice, and he's had, I believe, eight children.
00:58 We'd all tried to find one another, but it wasn't until 2014 that Jeff found us.
01:06 My next younger brother, Barry, received a letter from Jeff
01:11 where when he told me, it was wonderful.
01:15 We had quite a conversation.
01:18 Sadly, I lost my wife, so now I'm on my own.
01:22 Hopefully, when I get to Australia, I shall be able to meet Jeffrey,
01:28 give him a hug, which I've never been able to do.
01:32 It's going to be a real experience, something I never thought I'd do.
01:38 Never thought I'd see him.
01:48 Chicken meat?
01:50 Goodness me, I walked down there.
01:59 All right.
02:02 Oh, God.
02:04 Yes and no.
02:09 Oh.
