During the visit, officers discussed the 93-year-old’s time as a military pilot and his experiences in the war.

According to the post shared on Facebook, one of the officers then noticed the piano with sheet music for Chopin’s Nocturne in E-flat major.

“I told him it was my late grandma’s favourite too!” the officer wrote on Facebook. “I said I could play, so he invited me to play for him, which I did. It made his day, as you can see in the video, you can see how much he appreciated it. Job satisfaction,” the post read.
