Paul Potts sings for couple's 70th anniversary
Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts gave a special street performance during lockdown.
The 49-year-old opera singer gave the performance on a street in Aberavon, Wales.
Paul joined the celebrations of a couple, Gwyneth and Gerwyn, by putting on a show on the street where they live.
In addition, it was the couple’s neighbour Hywel’s 90th birthday... so there was much to celebrate.
Paul sang a few songs, including crowd favourite 'Nessun Dorma' as people lined the streets while social distancing.
The singer said: "I was told about Gwyneth and Gerwyn’s 70th anniversary from their family via the local council who asked for a video clip to be sent to the couple.
