Pensioners are breaking down in tears at food banks as they struggle with heating costs and food insecurity, according to a charity worker.

Billy McGranaghan, who runs a food bank service, revealed the emotional toll on elderly visitors to their lunch clubs.

McGranaghan explained that many people are unaware of available support, with some going without food for a day before seeking help.
