They have a reputation for creating tear-jerking adverts that tug on the heart strings with a moving story played out to a soulful song. And this year's John Lewis advert doesn't disappoint.

Unknown actors Alice Issaz and Thomas Vernant play the part of the love struck couple, with Alice embarking on a relationship in the 1920s and Thomas in the present day. The pair never physically meet but their stories run side-by-side as they visit the same romantic haunts and go about their daily lives.
