People said they wanted to be like a dancing nan who was captured on video busting out moves on the dancefloor.

The footage was taken on Saturday, August 27 and showed a woman named Marie cutting some fine shapes as people cheered her on at Scruffy Murphy's Irish bar. In the heartwarming 30 second video, Marie, dressed in a pink top and floral skirt, does a variety of dance moves as she leads the celebrations.

Marie at one point appears to get low and the crowd erupts with an even louder cheer. Her untamed dancing led her to be called the 'favourite customer' of the night by staff at the bar.
