A pensioner with itchy feet has been making Leeds shoppers smile again.

Sylvia Nolan is the legendary East Leeds street dancer who is known for boogying along to buskers in the city centre.

Aged 87, retired factory worker Sylvia still walks into town for her shopping and to the bingo almost everyday.

Once more, Sylvia drops her shopping and gets stuck in, with passers by stopping to watch and smile, before finishing the dance with a high kick.

In a recent interview, she said: "If I hear music, I just have to dance.

"Some people see old age as a bad thing but if anything it's the opposite - I never lie about my age. I may be old, but I'm young at heart."
