An old age pensioner has become the latest star of teen-oriented video sharing site YouTube.
'Peter', who goes by the username Geriatric1927, is a 78 year-old widower from England who promises "geriatric gripes and grumbles".
His first video has been viewed over 850,000 times since it was uploaded on 5 August.
"I got addicted to YouTube. It's a fascinating place to go to see all the wonderful videos young people have produced. So I thought I'd have a go at doing one myself," Peter said in his first video.
"What I hope I'll be able to do is just bitch and grumble about life in general from the perspective of an old person who's been there and done that.
"Hopefully you will respond in some way by your comments and then I might be able to do other videos to follow up your comments."
Over 14,000 people have subscribed to Peter's video feed and he is ranked among the top users currently on the site. His video feed is the third most subscribed to in the history of YouTube.
Responding to his instant popularity on the site, Peter said: "I am absolutely overwhelmed and don't quite know what to say.
"This YouTube experience has been one of the major changes and breakthroughs in my life and given me a whole new world to experience."
