Picture the scene the Jubilee Concert is being beamed live on BBC1 Monday Night with a global audience of millions. Everything going smooth as silk but then you know the problem the next act Stevie Wonder is not quite ready to start. Nightmare! Cue Lenny Henry - gets called up on stage and told to fill some time.
"I'm going to do something now because we've got some time" Before introducing Rolf harris on stage to sing an impromtu performance "Two Little Boys" accapella sing along to fill some time. "Are you serious?" asks Rolf Harris to Lenny Henry as he enters stage right.
Alls going well the crowd are loving it and all joining in. Lenny Henry cracks "David Cameron singing"
BBC cut to Royal Box profile where we see smiles and singing along from the Archbishop of Canterbury and Princess Anne as they remember like all of us a childhood favourite with great fondness.
But the Queen is looking distinctly NOT amused!
Cut back to the stage and Rolf Harris and Lenny Henry are larking around as Rolf manages sings between laughing. Then that dreadful moment the final chorus: Rolf pretend marching now and Lenny making Rolf noises!
"Long years past, War came so fast
Bravely they marched away
Cannon roared loud and in the mad crowd
Wounded and dying lay...."
Lenny Henry in a panicked way puts his hand on Rolf Harris's arm to stop him: "you've gotta stop! You've gotta stop! Cos we're... err um errr they're ready now"
417 military deaths in Afghanistan.
