'D-Day Darlings' On Britian's Got Talent With WW2 Veterans

There wasn’t a dry eye when WW2-styled female choir “The D-Day Darlings” sang in the finals of Britain’s Got Talent. Performing the famous ‘White Cliffs Of Dover’ by popular singer Vera Lynn, this group boasts perfectly placed hair and crisp wartime costumes to match their tight harmonies.


“There'll be bluebirds over,
The white cliffs of Dover, Tomorrow,
Just you wait and see”

As the chorus finale began, the girls choir was joined by a host of WW2 Veterans! As the first veteran walked onto the stage, the audience erupted in cheers. It wasn’t too long before they were all on their feet clapping. If the choir wasn’t stunning enough having the living veterans on the stage was so moving!

The D-Day Darlings were originally formed in 2008 as a trio group, but grew as interest in their vintage style began to gain awareness. Many today appreciate their grandparents’ sacrifice during the 1940s and connect with the music and stylings of the era. The D-Day Darlings bring a unique offering as a choir vs. a smaller USO-styled grouping.

One such fan on twitter shared: “‘Working in a Salvation Army nursing home, I connect to the D-Day Darlings so much, I spend my life caring for people that were soldiers in the war. Well done girls.”

At the conclusion of the performance a spotlight was cast in the audience recognizing a large group of current members serving in the military. The D-Day Darling’s performance evolved into a touching dedication honoring those who served and who are currently serving their country.
