Watch: Time to get the tissues, it's the John Lewis Christmas advert 2015

It's that time of the year again when people across Shropshire can be seen shedding a tear as the most anticipated advert of the year - the John Lewis Christmas ad - hits television screens.

The avert, called 'Man on the Moon', features a girl who spends much of her time staring through a telescope. In the run up to Christmas, she spots an old man living alone in a little shed on the moon.

She tries to contact the man, by waving, firing messages via an arrow. With no joy.

Then, true to form, on Christmas Day a parcel is delivered by balloon to the old man from the girl - a telescope, which he then uses to spot her back on earth.

He sheds a tear of joy.

This year's song, which will no doubt be getting lots of play on the radio on the run up to Christmas is a cover of the Oasis hit 'Half The World Away', and is performed by Norwegian artist Aurora Aksnes.
