Recently I watched ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ on television at the behest of my grandson. It was heartwarming to see so much diversity of talent in all ages young and old. Nearly 2.5 million people voted with a young up coming musician Tokio Myers, who comes from a deprived background, winning the top prize. This gesture gave more hope to a young life that could otherwise have gone astray.
Even more touching was the heartfelt and moving performance by the ‘Missing People Choir’. Everyone from the judges to the presenters and audiences including those at home shed a tear when images of young missing people were shown while the heartbroken parents sang ‘You took our days, our nights and our lives’. It is their hope as much as all of ours that the missing people come back home.
