The D-Day Juniors Remember History With Inspiring BGT Audition
In a beautiful Britain’s Got Talent audition, the D-Day Juniors remember history with their inspiring performance.
“Every day I wake up, grab my bag, and ride to school so fast
Sitting in the classroom, history I’m learning of the past
I’m turning the pages, I can’t believe my eyes
Now I know how you saved us, want to shine a light to your lives
Thank you for our freedom (for the things you did for us)
And everything you’ve done (and the life you gave for us)
Pass it on (pass it on), pass it on (pass it on)
Pass it on to everyone”
This beautiful song was performed by the D-Day Juniors, and the members in the group are between the ages of 6 and 17. The timing of this performance could not have been more perfect, because it marks the 75th anniversary of VE Day, also known as Victory in Europe Day. This is celebrated on May 8th and marks the anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe.
For the D-Day Juniors’ performance, they sang this special song on the BGT stage while old pictures of soldiers were projected behind the singers. Later in the song, images of the soldiers started to be shown next to photos of some of the children in the choir. This was to show that some of the singers are direct descendants of the soldiers that were pictured on stage.
While the kids are dancing around and singing, they are using props to make it look like they are reading history books. The song that they performed is very powerful, and they sound lovely with their beautiful harmonies.
After the audition, the D-Day Juniors get a standing ovation from the judges and the crowd, and many people in the audience can be seen tearing up. What a wonderful song and tribute to those who have fought for their freedom!
