Elderly man wins internet fame with foodie Instagram account
Updated | By High School Hits Classics with Barney Simon
David Cyril, 85, is documenting his weight loss on Instagram - and he already has over 70,000 followers.
When David Cyril's daughter first posted a picture of her father's weight loss progress on her own Instagram account, there was an overwhelmingly positive response.
Following this, the 85-year-old from Lancashire decided to start his own account where he posts his healthy meals (all made in accordance with the rules of Slimming World, the programme that he and his daughter are following) and gives encouraging words to anyone who might be trying to stick to a similar weight loss plan.

David's photos are charming because they show how enthusiastic he is about eating right and staying healthy. His followers - he has over 70,000 of them - relate to his positive energy and find him inspirational.
David aims to be healthy enough to walk his youngest daughter down the aisle.
