How old is Colin Thackery on Britain's Got Talent? Singer in final

So after months of auditions and a week of live semi finals, it's the final of Britain's Got Talent on Sunday.

And one of the acts in the running for Britain's Got Talent glory this year is Chelsea pensioner and singer Colin Thackery.

Colin had the judges and everyone watching at home in tears at his audition when he performed Wind Beneath My Wings from Beaches for his late wife.

He got four emphatic yeses and then got an even bigger thumbs up from the voting public when he won his semi final on Wednesday after a moving take on We'll Meet Again, where he was joined by some of his fellow Chelsea Pensioners.

He said he dreams of singing for the Royal Family after serving in the military for 25 years.
