Gyles Brandreth in tears on This Morning
On This Morning on Friday, the show marked the 80th anniversary of VJ Day – a day which marks the end of WWII.
After watching the two-minute silence service in Staffordshire, back in the studio, Emma said: “It’s so emotional isn’t it, it’s so moving.”
Gyles replied: “80 years ago and to see there veterans, people who were actually alive, in what many called the Forgotten War. Victory over Japan Day was the final end.”
Reflecting on his family, Gyles went on: “Whenever we talk about the war, I think about my own family. My father was in the army during the Second World War in intelligence.”

Gyles overcome with emotion
A photo of Gyles’ father then appeared on the screen as Craig said: “There he is, bless him. Oh that’s rather touching.”
Overcome with emotion, Gyles then started crying. Struggling to speak, he said: “They’re good people, really good people. Interestingly, they very rarely talked about it. They just got on with it.”
Still emotional, Gyles turned to his co-star Rachel Johnson and said: “And your grandparents.”
Craig said: “It’s very poignant. A lot of people will be feeling like you – proud and very sad,” as Gyles added: “Very proud.”
Oh Gyles, such raw emotion.
This Morning viewers were quick to rush over to X to send their support to Gyles over the sad moment on the show.
“Oh Gyles, such raw emotion,” said one person. Someone else added: “Let’s be honest… who got a bit emotional at Gyles then.”
A third chimed in: “Awww Gyles, I am crying now.” Another also penned: “Gyles is a gorgeous man.”
