This is the moment Post Office hero Alan Bates and his wife fought back tears after learning they've been gifted a free holiday by Richard Branson. 

Mr Bates Postgazette News Today appeared on ITV's This Morning with his partner Suzanne Sercombe to discuss how he led a campaign to expose the Horizon scandal, in which hundreds of Post Office staff were wrongfully accused of theft and fraud. 

At the end of the interview, hosts Craig Doyle and Josie Gibson told the 68-year-old that the Virgin Group founder has gifted him and Suzanne a free trip to Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. 

The former subpostmaster began tearing up as he was then told he had also been gifted a seven night Mediterrenean cruise from Barcelona, leaving the couple speechless.

It comes as ITV's new drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office has drawn a renewed interest in the scandal after airing last week, prompting Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to reconsider ways to finally compensate all wrongly accused postmasters.
