This is the tear-jerking moment a beloved university cleaner was surprised with £1,500 raised by student for him to go on holiday with his wife.

Herman Gordan, originally from Jamaica, was clearly emotional as he accepted the generous wad of cash while working a shift at Bristol University.

Students and staff decided to crowdfund the cash to show how much they appreciated his efforts over the past ten years, Bristol Live reports .

A heartwarming note from the students read: “Dear Herman, on behalf of the students at Bristol, we would like to thank you for all the positive energy you have given to us throughout the years.

When he was presented the gift, Herman could not hold back his tears and gave the presenter a big hug.

The GoFundMe page, which was started anonymously, was shared on the university’s Bristruths page.

It started with a short post on Facebook in May, which gathered quite a few likes.

It was clear the fundraising was going well, with more than 230 students donating to the appeal.

The creators of the GoFundMe page wrote: "We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this incredible gift. It is truly amazing what we can achieve when we come together.

"It is thanks to your generosity that we’ve been able to raise about £1,500 – meaning both Herman and his wife will be able to visit Jamaica for the first time in four years."
