WATCH: Heartwarming Moment Policeman Comforts Burgled WW2 Veteran

A police officer comforted a 93-year-old WW2 veteran who had been the victim of a burglary by taking to the piano in his home to play his favourite classical piece.

Body-cam footage shows two officers checking up on the former pilot after he was targeted by thieves a few months earlier.

The OAP chatted about his experiences of being a pilot in the war and his love of music before he asked whether they knew the nocturnes written by classical composer Frederic Chopin.

Incredibly, PCSO Craig Bull knew how to play the piece and tinkled the ivories to cheer up the elderly man and "make his day."

The pensioner, who is sat in an armchair in his living room with his back to the camera, can be seen clapping and miming playing the keys himself.

Towards the end of the three-minute clip, he can be heard repeatedly telling the Nottinghamshire Police officer "very good".

Mansfield Police uploaded the video to Facebook where it has been viewed almost 150,000 times in just 24 hours.

In the post PCSO Bull wrote: "Following a theft revisit today for a ninety-three-year-old gentleman, it truly made me feel good about myself and the job I do.

"He felt wanted and reassured.

"He was really pleased that we had checked in on him to see that he was ok.

"He shared stories about him 'getting his wings', being a pilot, the war and sadly the loss of his beloved wife on Christmas Eve a few years ago.

"I noticed he had a piano with music open - one of his favourite Chopin pieces he said, a nocturne.

"I told him it was my late grandma's favourite too!

"I said I could play, so he invited me to play for him, which I did.

"It made his day, as you can see in the video you can see how much he appreciated it.

"Job satisfaction."

Social media users were quick to praise the actions of the officer and for going "above and beyond" the call of duty.

Amanda Leigh said on Facebook: "Neighbourhood policing at its best."

Betty Warren added: "Absolutely brilliant you went above and beyond for this gentleman who truly deserves to be looked after at 93.

"I think you made his day, you can see he thoroughly enjoyed listening to you play for him."

Marsha Kavanagh said: "Wow! What a priceless memory!

"Making others feel cared for is a gift.

"Thanks for going above and beyond! Played beautifully."
