Colin Thackery has been crowned winner of Britain's Got Talent series 13 after a showstopping final.
The Chelsea Pensioner, who dedicates his emotional performances to his late wife Joan, will appear at the Royal Variety Performance later this year after his victory. He will also receive £250,000.
After his name was read out, Thackery said: "Astonished, incredible. I'm stuck for words for a change!
"Thank you very much, all of you. All the backing I've had [was] absolutely fantastic. That's where I wanted to be [at the Royal Variety]."
Magician Ben Hart finished in third place while masked man X - who revealed his identity as last year's contestant Marc Spelmann - came second.
Earlier in the show, masked magician X confessed his true identity at the end of his act on Sunday night.
After his trick, a short video Spelmann's baby daughter played before the magician - who was Ant and Dec's golden buzzer in 2018 - took off his mask.
Spelmann failed to make the final last year. He explained to the presenters that he really wanted to come back this year to finish his message of hope.
The star told Ant and `Dec: "I feel amazing and to come second to Colin who has done with his life, given his life for us, I bow to him.
