Britain's Got Talent Winner Colin Thackery Returns With Ed Sheeran Cover

Winner of Britain’s Got Talent, Colin Thackery, returns to the stage for a dazzling performance of ‘Supermarket Flowers’ by Ed Sheeran.

We first met Colin when he auditioned for the thirteenth season of Britain’s Got Talent. At 89-years-old, he was much older than most of the contestant but his heart is as young as ever.

Colin shared the heartfelt story of the love and loss of his wife, Joan. It was just two weeks after his wedding to Joan that he was sent to Korea. Colin served in the 45th Regiment of the Royal Artillery and nearly died while he was fighting in Korea.

Sadly, in 2016, Colin was forced to say goodbye to his love when she died in his arms. His initial audition was full of emotion as he belted out the words to Bette Midler’s ‘Wind Beneath My Wings.’

Week after week, Colin brought emotion and talent to each of his performances. Finally, he was crowned the winner and now holds the title of oldest winner of Britain’s Got Talent.

Today, Colin is back on the stage that started it all as a contestant on Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions. This special format features 45 competitors from all of the Got Talent franchises.

For six weeks, these all-stars will battle it out to see who will be crowned the ultimate champion. The list of contenders includes past winners, finalists and fan-favorites.

Before the performance, Colin and Joan’s love story plays on the screen behind him. Then, he begins to belt out the words to ‘Supermarket Flowers’ from pop artist Ed Sheeran.

This song for his beloved wife earned a standing ovation. What a beautiful performance!
