Jeremy Clarkson holds back tears in emotional Instagram post

The Top Gear star took to the social media platform following the success of his farming choir on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent (BGT).

The Hawkstone Choir is made up entirely of real British farmers and was created as a promotional and campaigning project linked to Clarkson’s Hawkstone beer and cider band.

Ahead of their performance, one of the farmers said, “Jeremy Clarkson did a thing, and that thing is the Hawkstone Farmers Choir.

“Jeremy brought us together to sing, and it’s really been amazing for us all.”

Hawkstone Choir performed Elbow’s One Day Like This, earning them a golden buzzer from judge Amanda Holden.

Explaining why she pressed the buzzer, Holden said, “I felt so much power.

“I love the whole community, I love how you’ve all got together.

“You work so hard every single day, you absolutely smashed it, and I can’t wait to see what you’re going to do in the semi-finals.”

“These guys are all farmers, and they work incredibly hard for really incredibly small rewards, and to see them all on that stage with all that love in the room made my heart sing – I actually welled up.”
