A singer who performed a touching tribute for his disabled brother sailed straight through to the next round on Britain's Got Talent .
Mark McMullan, 23, from Northern Ireland, sang an emotional rendition of Bring Him Home from Les Miserables in Saturday night's episode of the programme.
He explained to the judges the song was very personal to him and his family because of his brother, who has a condition called locked-in syndrome, resulting from a brain injury six years ago.
Mark's performance moved members of the audience to tears and the judges, who gave him a standing ovation, praised him highly for his "poignant" effort.

The talented singer said on stage before his performance: "Nearly six years ago, my older brother took sick from a brain injury.
"He's here today but he was left with a condition called locked-in syndrome - he's trapped inside his own body, the only thing he can do is hear, so my music became a big comfort for him."
His brother Declan and family were shown watching from the audience, with many viewers saying the moving performance left them in tears.
"This guy!!! In tears listening to this!" said one.
"Crying real tears I’m so so so so sorry for his brother," added another.
A third said: "Crying my eyes out! #godbless #lesmis #BGT"

After a storming cheer from the theatre, judge Amanda Holden said: "You have the most gorgeous tone and quality to your voice.
"When you listen to the words and you know the background of your story, it just made so much sense and was so much more poignant, it was beautifully done."
Simon Cowell said Mark should be expecting calls from West End producers he was that good.
"He is lucky to have a brother like you, you brought meaning to that song that I hadn't thought about before.

"You managed to combine a real tenderness with that song with a strength in the second half of the performance."
After Mark left the stage, Simon was seen going out into the audience to introduce himself to the singer's family.
He told them: "I think we will be hearing a lot more from him."
The fifth episode of Britain's Got Talent also saw judge David Walliams being hoisted into the air by a performer's mouth.
Duo Julia and Alex from Coventry and Ukraine - known as A&J - put on an acrobatics display that saw them using a rope to perform dangerous moves in the air.

One of the moves saw Alex positioned upside down with a rope in his mouth as Julia hung onto it, spinning freely high above the stage.
Walliams, curious to see if it was possible to do with his heavier weight, was invited to hop on stage and try it himself.
Alex managed to lift Walliams several inches off the stage, much to the judges' amusement.
A&J were given four yeses, sending them through to the next stage of the competition.

Other successful acts included comical children's entertainer Graeme Mathews, from Essex, and a group of dancers aged seven to 18, called Iconic, who paid tribute to pop acts such as Madonna, Bruno Mars, Whitney Houston and PJ & Duncan, Ant and Dec's former musical duo.
There was also a troupe of female dancers and illusionists from the Netherlands, Angels Inc, who made dancers miraculously appear on stage during their powerful routine.
Walliams dubbed Angels Inc as "the Pussycat Dolls of magic" and that it was a performance "for the dads" as they received four yeses from the judges.
Britain's Got Talent continues on ITV next Saturday.
