Many people enjoy performing and may find themselves on stage before large crowds, but not everyone gets the rare opportunity to perform for the Queen. The young girls in this video were lucky enough to have that honor.
The Poppy Girls is a Talented and Young vocal group made up of five performers: Bethany, Megan, Charlotte, Florence, and Alice. All of these girls have fathers who serve in the Royal Navy, Army, or Royal Air Force.
This gifted young vocal group was granted an extraordinary opportunity to sing before the Queen, yet their journey held surprises beyond what anyone foresaw. Their moment on stage was well-earned, but an unforeseen turn awaited them.
The Poppy Girls captured public attention following their standout audition on Britain’s Got Talent. That remarkable performance led them to a prestigious invitation—serenading the Queen at the Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.
The song they selected, The Call (No Need to Say Goodbye), carries profound emotional significance. This touching ballad is a tribute to all the young girls with fathers bravely serving their nation.
As the final note faded, the crowd erupted in applause, and it seemed the singers were preparing to exit the stage. Just then, the host stepped forward to reveal that Megan’s father couldn’t be there that evening because he was stationed in the Indian Ocean.
However, what Megan didn’t know was that a heartfelt surprise awaited her just behind the curtain. You can experience this emotional moment in the video below.
