Watch the heart-warming moment two long-lost brothers that were separated as children finally meet after 77 years apart. Ted Nobbs, 83, was reunited with his youngest brother Geoff, 79, in Australia on Tuesday (6/9) after seven decades apart. Ted, along with his siblings Barry and John, were separated with Geoff in 1945 after their mum died suddenly at just 30. Their father couldn’t cope with caring for Geoff, he was only one at the time, so decided to offer him up for adoption. Geoff was separated from his brothers before he moved to Australia in 1951, aged seven, with his adoptive family. Brothers Ted, John and Barry lost all contact with Geoff but their luck changed in 2014 when Geoff tracked Barry down, four years after John died. After chatting for several years and overcoming several setbacks, Ted finally met his brother Geoff in Australia on September 6, 2022. A heart-warming video shot by Geoff's daughter Michelle shows the long-lost brothers meeting for the first time in 77 years. Ted, from Rugby, Warks., said: “It is something that I never thought would happen in my life. “It was an amazing experience meeting Geoff for the first time, it was unbelievable really. “I’m stopping with Geoff currently, we’ve been having days out and getting used to Australia and then we’re off sightseeing. “It really is something I never thought I’d get to do.” Geoff, from Sydney, Australia, said: “It was an overwhelming experience, it was amazing really. “To think I’ve finally met my brother, it’s just beyond me. “I’ve been showing Ted the sights today, along the coast and then we’re off up towards the coral reef.” Ted’s son Christopher who helped arrangethe flights added: “I feel relieved and so happy that Dad and Geoff have finally managed to meet up again after a lifetime apart. Dad wasn't nervous at all, he was just excited, he was absolutely buzzing when he set off from the UK. “The trip means so much to him, I think after all the lockdowns, Covid delays and travel issues he was fearing it would never actually happen. “When the brothers found each other and got in touch a few years ago, after searching for so long, Dad said it felt like winning the lottery. So to now go and meet up face to face - well, you can see from the video just how much it meant to both of them. “It's a massive deal for Dad to fly out there on his own too, after we lost Mum last year who'd had a big part in planning all this - she'd be so proud and happy that it's become a reality. Also it's 50 years since Dad last got on a plane, when he and Mum went to Tunisia in 1972. “It's a shame all four brothers couldn't be part of that big reunion hug, but I'm sure there'll be plenty of photos, videos and memories to share with Barry when Dad returns home. “I think we've all got a little bit of disbelief that it's now become real. Geoff's over the moon too, and has been enjoying showing his little brother around his part of the world and introducing him to his family. There's also Geoff's granddaughter's wedding for them all to look forward to. “I've told Dad to enjoy every precious moment of this trip as it will soon fly by. We're so grateful to Geoff and all of his family who have put in a lot of effort to make Dad feel so welcome out there and make his visit unforgettable.”
