Sir Tom Jones, 84, left hardly a dry eye among BBC viewers on Saturday night with his powerful performance at this year’s Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.
Singing before King Charles III, Princess Anne, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the nation’s military heroes, Jones rose to the occasion, delivering show-stopping vocals that honored the significance of the event.
The Voice UK judge Sir Tom Jones was one of the first acts welcomed onto the stage by host Adrian Lester, delivering a heartfelt rendition of *I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.*
Jones had previously performed this emotional track at the D-Day 80 commemoration in Normandy earlier this year, paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.
During Saturday’s show at the Royal Albert Hall, Jones once again honored the fallen, remaining at his spot on stage, accompanied by the military orchestra. Within moments of his performance, social media lit up with praise for the singer, and several viewers couldn’t help but mention a rather eye-catching detail they noticed during the performance.
