This is not the first time a child interacting with an army veteran has gone viral.
Earlier this year, a video of a Queen’s Guardsman posing with a child in costume swept the internet.
Filmed at Windsor Castle, the clip shows the boy watching Changing the Guard.
As the four guards march in unison past him, the little boy, who is standing with his mum, salutes.
At first, it doesn’t appear that they have noticed – but then something magical happens.
With his official duties complete, one of the guards returns and marches towards the boy.
He stops in front of him and beckons him to come towards him.
The boy rushed forward and turns around to pose for a picture, raising his arm in salute.
