Same here. I even got a bit misty-eyed when the students applauded Granny Smith at the end (and it was Silver Spoon of all ponies that started them off).

I think it's because it reminds me of my own experiences with seniors. I've listened to stories from the WWII generation ever since I was a kid, and nearly every one has been a real treasure. It makes it all the more tragic that they're dying off more and more. Just goes to show that you need to cherish such moments, because they won't last.
