BRITAIN’S Got Talent fans were left in tears last night as the show’s oldest ever winner Colin Thackeray returned.
The 92-year-old delivered an emotional winners’ song for the Platinum Jubilee, joined by The Chelsea Pensioners Choir & Military Drummers, The D Day Darlings and The D D Juniors.
Judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams were captivated by his performance.
The special Platinum Jubilee extravaganza for The Queen made viewers extremely emotional as they praised Colin’s singing.
“OMG they brought tears to my eyes, absolutely moving,” said one viewer.
Another said: “Oh here come the tears.”
Someone else added: “Good to see 92 year old Chelsea Pensioner Colin Thacker back on #BGT.”
The army veteran and singer.
Colin’s audition was shown on Britain’s Got Talent on Saturday, May 11, 2019.
He sang Wind Beneath My Wings, made famous by Bette Midler in Beaches.
The weepy song had the audience and the judges crying, as he dedicated it to his late wife Joan, who died in 2016 after more than 60 years of marriage.
During the final show, Colin was crowned winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2019, after singing Michael Ball’s Love Changes Everything.
As the winner of Britain’s Got Talent, Colin was invited to perform in front of the Royal Family at the Royal Variety Performance.
On performing for the Queen, he enthused: “That’s the job. That’s what I wanted.”
He also scooped the £250,000 prize money and vowed to share the fund with the Royal Chelsea Hospital, where he lives.
