Tom Jones Performs Incredibly Moving Song At D-Day 80th Memorial In Tribute To His Grandfather

This iconic Welsh singer chose the poignant song 'I Won’t Crumble With You If You Fall' to perform at the British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer.

This event commemorated the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla were present, along with notable Western leaders such as Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron, to honor this significant anniversary.

Sir Tom's rendition was especially touching, captivating those present with his still-powerful voice at 83 years old.

He is set to celebrate his 84th birthday this coming Friday, June 7.

It's worth noting that Sir Tom's personal history adds depth to his performance; his grandfather, who passed away in World War One, is buried in France.

Before taking the stage, Tom expressed his feelings on social media, stating: "It is my honour to perform at the very special D-Day 80 event at the British Normandy Memorial on June 6. It is a momentous occasion that reminds us of the limitless sacrifices of that campaign, and it will be beautiful."

The song 'I Won't Crumble With You If You Fall' comes from Tom Jones's 2021 album, Surrounded by Time.

During the ceremony, King Charles III paid tribute to the "remarkable wartime generation" with his words: 

"It is with the most profound sense of gratitude that we remember them, and all those that served at that critical time.

"I will never forget the haunting sight and sounds of thousands of figures, proudly marching past into a French sunset on these beaches."
