LONDON -- An elderly Polish couple have become Internet heroes after they bought tickets for one of London's biggest nightclubs -- then stayed out partying until the early hours of the morning.

Jacob Husley, the director of Fabric's Sunday night event "WetYourSelf" -- which the couple attended -- shared the story on Facebook.

The couple, who are in their 80s, according to The Evening Standard, were in London visiting relatives.

They decided to go along to Fabric after reading a review of the nightclub.

So is this genuine or a PR stunt? It's always hard to say for sure, but it's worth noting that Husley is the director of WetYourSelf, so publicity for the night would of course be in his interest. Then again, based on the level of detail and the photo he uploaded it would certainly be a lot of effort to go to if the stunt was fabricated.

At the time of writing, Husley's post has been shared around 4,000 times.

Mashable has reached out to Husley for comment and we will update this article if we receive a response.
