A tale of survival, love, hardship, family, heartbreak and triumph.
This is the incredible story of 89-year-old Chelsea Pensioner
Sergeant Major Colin Thackery who, in 2019, made history by
becoming the oldest person to win Britain's Got Talent. The show
gave a glimpse into Colin's history, but the truth of his unique
and eventful life is far more gripping and surprising than viewers
could have imagined. Enthralling, poignant and inspiring, this book
tells Colin's story, from being a child helping Air Raid Wardens
during The Blitz, through fighting in the Korean War, touring the
world with the army, becoming a widower after 66 years of marriage,
life as a Chelsea Pensioner and touching the nation's hearts with
his show-winning singing in honour of his late wife, Joan.
Ultimately, Colin's story is a tale of triumph: of resilience in
the hardest of times; of hope in the face of despair; and of
everlasting love.
