A MAN has left people in tears after offering up a spare Marks ans Spencer’s slipper, which he no longer needs after losing his leg.
M&S is one of the UK’s most popular retailers during the festive period, with many Britons flocking to stores to pick up their Christmas presents.

And one shopper has left people heartbroken after leaving a review under a pair of £19.50 FreshFeet men’s slippers.
The man shared that he had unfortunately lost his right leg, meaning that he could only wear one slipper.
He added that he was willing to give away the unused shoe to anyone else in a similar situation.
The man gave the comfy pair of slippers a five-star rating and started his review with: “Very comfortable size 8 r/h slipper seeks owner.”
He continued: “I felt like a change having worn the same style of M&S slipper for over forty years. These looked modern, they are certainly warm and very comfortable too.
“Five years ago I lost my right leg so I never wear the right slipper.
“So if you are missing a left and take a size 8 slipper and need a right slipper I am allowing M & S to give you my email address and you can have one for free, just contact me…”
The candid review has been shared on Twitter by writer Jayne Sharp who spotted it while browsing the site for a present for her dad.
Sharing a screenshot, she wrote: “Just looking at slippers for dad for Christmas & came across this review on @marksandspencer’s website.
“I think I’ve got something in my eye.”
The post has racked up dozens of comments from people choked up by the sweet gesture.
One wrote: “Not just the spirit of Christmas, that’s the spirit of humanity. Somehow the smallest of gestures make the most impact.
“Whoever you are, you have my utmost respect.”
Another said: “Ohhhh!!! I’m not crying…put away those onions.”
A third added: “What a total darling they are.”
