Things that make you blub - unexpectedly

Music mostly, but the weirdest trigger for me is flowers. If I see on TV or anywhere, wild flowers that remind me of my childhood, I cry. A field of buttercups is disastrous.

Margot Fonteyn’s dancing was so beautiful it often made me cry.

Disney films

Every time

MadeInYorkshire sincere condolences. I'm so sorry to hear your news. Tears indeed will flow and so they should

MadeInYorkshire, I am so very sorry for your loss.

Not a teary person but, MIY, you just broke my mould. SO sad at the recent loss of your daughter. Unimaginably awful. 🌷.

MadeinYorkshire I'm so,so sorry to hear your sad news, my condolences🌹
Some songs make me sad, You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban and Danny Boy remind me of my mum. I always shed a tear when I hear them.

The last scene in The Railway Children, “Daddy My Daddy” 😢

MadeinYorkshire. So very sad for you and sending deepest sympathy to you and your family. It puts my niggles in proportion.
I still can't hear or sing Have Yourselves A Merry Little Christmas without crying. It happened again only yesterday.

Brass bands do it for me - there is just something about the sound that goes straight to my spot marked X and sets me off.

I once went alone to a concert at my local theatre by the Grimethorpe Colliery Band; I'd recently ended a very long (and what I now understand to have been of a coercive controlling nature) relationship, and when a lone trombone player gave the most exquisite rendition of the old Frank Sinatra song "All The Way" I totally lost it.

I join with others here in sending sincere condolences to our recently-bereaved fellow GN-er. Very brave to share that raw emotion with us all ..

Seeing the bereaved walk across the Albert Hall during the Festival of Remembrance.

Madeinyorkshire, I’m so sorry.💐

As for what makes me cry, little kids singing Away In A Manger is guaranteed to have me groping for the tissues.

Robins!! After I read that the sight of a robin reminds us of a lost love one looking after us.
Absolutely ridiculous, but it didn’t stop me crying buckets in a garden centre on Sunday, when a robin landed just above my head and started singing.

MadeinYorkshire so sorry to hear your sad news. Will be thinking of you.

Tears - very rarely, but my aunt was a member of the Trefoil Guild and their singing of 'Taps' at a funeral caught me out.

MadeinYorkshire so very sorry about your daughter. My condolences.

I am a great cryer. I could cry for Wales. ‘Chasing cars’ by Snow Patrol, sets me off immediately, poems, passages in’JaneEyre’. A myriad things.

There is a video online at the moment of a chimp who's baby was born with breathing difficulties. It was taken away for two days while they sorted the problems out and was then laid back in a cage wrapped in a blanket. The mother is let in and looks around. Then the baby's hand suddenly appears from the blanket. The mother just leaps on the baby, gathers it up and sits there shaking. I defy anyone to watch it dry eyed.

MadeinYorksire So very sorry for your sudden loss of your daughter a massive hug from me to you.

Made in Yorkshire, I’m so sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your daughter. I simply can’t imagine the depth of such grief.

*MadeinYorkshire” many condolences on your very sad loss.

I usually keep it together at funerals, but if Elgar’s Nimrod comes on, that’s it.
Also the final scene in “Now Voyager” with Bette Davis
“Why ask for the moon when we have the stars?” If I have remembered correctly 😢

MadeinYorkshire, all my sympathy and good wishes to you. My eldest son also died suddenly on Thursday, every time I think of him I start crying.

Jeepers. Another tragedy. Hellogirl1, for you....... 🌷. I'm extremely sad to read of your loss too. Cannot even start to imagine such pain. 🌷

So sad for your loss.

The advert where the schoolgirl is being bullied and her dad says, you can talk to me. It makes me so sad.

The pain of losing your children must be unbearable MadeinYorkshire and Hellogirl. I cannot begin to imagine what you’re going through but please allow me to send each of you an enveloping hug.
