Grandson who posted touching dance with nan post final video

A young man who touched hearts across the globe by documenting his close bond with his great grandmother has announced it's time for her to say goodbye to public eyes.

Jarryd Stoneman and his nan Katie Thomas, 94, went viral in March last year when he asked her to dance - even though she can't walk unassisted.

After almost a year in the spotlight the 24-year-old man from Wellington, New Zealand, has shared a tear-jerking goodbye to allow his nan to rest, reports the Daily Mail.

In the video posted to Facebook on Tuesday, Stoneman lay alongside his grandmother in her bed as she smiled up at the camera and appeared to be gasping to breathe.

Thomas is 94-years-old and has dementia.

"What's up everybody," Stoneman said in the video. "We've made the decision it's time for nanny to retire from Facebook fame.

"I think it's the right time for her to park up and get out of the public eye.

Stop crying guys!!!!!
