At 84, Sir Tom Jones didn’t just take the stage — he stopped time. During the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance, the legendary singer stunned the nation with a soul-stirring performance that left even the royals visibly moved. With King Charles III, Princess Anne, and the Prince and Princess of Wales watching, Jones delivered a tribute so powerful it had BBC viewers reaching for tissues — and questioning how a voice that timeless could still hit harder than ever

Sir Tom Jones, 84, left hardly a dry eye among BBC viewers on Saturday night with his powerful performance at this year’s Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

Singing before King Charles III, Princess Anne, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the nation’s military heroes, Jones rose to the occasion, delivering show-stopping vocals that honored the significance of the event.

The Voice UK judge Sir Tom Jones was one of the first acts welcomed onto the stage by host Adrian Lester, delivering a heartfelt rendition of *I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.*

Jones had previously performed this emotional track at the D-Day 80 commemoration in Normandy earlier this year, paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

During Saturday’s show at the Royal Albert Hall, Jones once again honored the fallen, remaining at his spot on stage, accompanied by the military orchestra. Within moments of his performance, social media lit up with praise for the singer, and several viewers couldn’t help but mention a rather eye-catching detail they noticed during the performance.

Sir Tom Jones received widespread praise from BBC viewers following his moving performance. While many fans were left teary-eyed by his rendition, others couldn’t help but marvel at how Jones, at 84 years old, can still deliver such powerful vocals.

One amazed fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Tom Jones seems to be defying nature. His voice hasn’t deteriorated one iota #RemembranceDay2024.”

Another echoed the sentiment: “Sir Tom Jones still has an incredible voice and looks physically strong and well #RoyalBritishLegionFestivalofRemembrance.”

“Sir Tom Jones sounds amazing considering he is 84 years old. #FestivalOfRemembrance,” a third fan noted, while a fourth added, “Sir Tom Jones, at 84, still sings like an angel. Extraordinary. #RemembranceDay2024.”

Sir Tom Jones shared a heartfelt message on Instagram about his performance.

Meanwhile, fans continued to express their emotions. One viewer wrote, “Watching Tom Jones at the Festival of Remembrance has left me in tears. It’s the first time since my great nanny’s funeral in February that I’ve listened to *I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall.*”

Another fan was equally moved: “I’m in floods of tears after that performance by Sir Tom Jones. He is an absolute legend.”

Sir Tom Jones didn’t directly address the crowd of servicemen, women, or royals during his performance, but he did share his gratitude on Instagram afterward, expressing the honor he felt performing at this year’s festival.

In his post, Jones wrote: “It’s a privilege to be joining the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance to honor the service of past and present military personnel. It is a beautiful, moving show that everyone should see. Tune in at 9 pm.”

Jones wasn’t the only prominent performer in the lineup. The powerful event also featured performances by Jack Savoretti, Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha, Alexandra Burke, Samantha Barks, and Jake Isaac.

In addition, Princess Kate and Prince William were seen sharing tender moments throughout the event, with William reflecting on what he described as “the hardest year of my life.”

The Princess of Wales shared her cancer diagnosis earlier this year and has gradually returned to the public eye over recent months as she continues her recovery.

For Saturday’s event, Kate looked radiant in a sleek black dress, adorned with a single poppy—a notable shift from the usual three she’s worn during past Remembrance weekends.

Throughout the ceremony, William was seen offering comfort to his wife, gently placing a hand on her arm during some of the event’s more emotional moments.

Kate reciprocated with a sweet gesture of her own, affectionately rubbing William’s lower back as they greeted officials.
