The amazing D Day Juniors have been cruelly mocked for unfortunate song name amid coronavirus pandemic.
The youngsters, who were set up by 2018 final act The D-Day Darlings 10 months ago, stunned the judges with their powerful performance and left Amanda Holden in tears.
The lovable choir, aged between 6 and 16 from the Midlands, paid a special tribute to war heroes’ incredible efforts and sacrifice for our country.
Before performing, one of the singers said: "We were really inspired by the D Day Darlings two years ago and want to create a junior group that can pass the message along for all generations to come."
However, some viewers pointed out the unfortunate timing that their audition aired due to the name of their song.
They moved the judges with an original song called 'Pass It On', which was about passing on the memory of the heroes who went before us to the younger generation.
The lyrics included the words: "Sitting in the classroom learning history of the past. On turning the pages, I can't believe my eyes.
"Now I know how you saved us, want to shine a light.
"Thank you for all you've done, and the lives you gave for us.
"Pass it on to everyone."
Despite the audition being filmed in January, before anyone knew of the severity of the coronavirus outbreak, many trolls criticised the song choice.
One viewer tweeted: ""Pass it on to everyone" wasn't the best line for the D-Day Juniors to end their song with, given we are in the middle of a pandemic..."
""Pass it on" is a rather insensitive message in these Covid-19 times," added another.
A third said: "Pass it on to everyone title of the song, not the smartest of choices"
"Don't think 'pass it on, to everyone' is the best message neither..," said a fourth.
Trying not to break down, Amanda said: "That was just like a performance. It didn't feel like an audition. It was so polished.
"Your grandparents looking down on you must have felt so proud because I did."
David Walliams said the song was very powerful and they were all "hugely talented", while Alesha praised them for being "entertaining but educational".
Once the happy youngster had left the stage after getting four big yeses, Alesha brought her daughter up on the judges' desk.
Alesha asked smiling Azura: "Did you enjoy that choir? Are we going to learn that song?"
BGT viewers flocked to Twitter to praise the group for their inspirational message.
One viewer said: "Shed a tear at d day juniors... It made me think of my great nan.. Well done to the kids involved keep spreading the message!"
"D day Juniors: Wow I loved these guys. Everyone within future generations needs to know what the War was like. The song was lovely and will be used for future generations. They kept the spirit alive which is what I loved. Well done guys," added another.
A third said: "D Day Juniors with that message wasn't half powerful. Definitely hit the heart strings"
