An elderly Polish couple have become unlikely viral stars after flying to London and partying until 5am at London nightclub Fabric on Sunday night.
The couple, said to be in their 70s, read a review of the club in a Polish newspaper and decided to buy tickets online during a visit from Warsaw to London to visit their daughter.
DJ Jacob Husley was so impressed by the couple's commitment to a night of hard partying, despite the woman being on crutches, that he took a picture with the pair and shared it on his Facebook page.
Husley, who promotes club night WetYourSelf at Fabric, wrote: "They came when doors opened, and had already planned to take the tube home when it finished at 6am.
"I told them they had free bar, two shots of tequila to start but after that [they] asked if they could have cups of tea … They were on the dancefloor doing ballroom-type dancing."

Husley continued: "They stayed until 5am and we convinced them to take our offer of a free taxi home instead of waiting for the tube.
"They said they had a great time and loved the crowd and vibe. What an amazing couple...so much humor, love and playfulness between these two. Our bodies might age but our souls are timeless."
Speaking to the Evening Standard, Husley said the couple had told him—via a translator—they often spent their Saturday nights visiting clubs in Poland.
"In 10 years of doing this every Sunday it's the best experience I've had—it's just amazing," he said.
