Platinum Party at the Palace spectators were delighted by the performance of Rod Stewart.
The 77-year-old was part of the programming of tonight’s BBC broadcast. The event also featured performances by acts such as Craig David and Sam Ryder as the nation paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II as she celebrated her 70th year on the throne.
The rock star performed a potpourri of his hits at the Buckingham Palace event. Rod thrilled the audience as he finished his performance with a performance of Sweet Caroline.

It was seen that members of the royal family enjoyed the routine while Prince George sang Neil Diamond’s classic. However, viewers who followed the show on Twitter were confused as to why Rod made a version when he has such a strong catalog of his own songs.
Savage said: “So … the whole Rod Stewarts catalog and he (or someone very tall) chooses #SweetCaroline #PlatinumPartyatthe Palace”
Jupiter commented: “Rod Stewart has been successful for 50 years and is forced to sing the sweet Caroline”
Phillip posted, “If they wanted #SweetCaroline, why did they ask #RodStewart and not invite #NeilDiamond?”
Susannah said, “Poor Rod. I know Sweet Caroline should have encouraged the audience, but she has a better back catalog. Why should she sing someone else’s song? A B lister should have done that. “
Jeff said, “Why is #RodStewart doing a version of #SweetCaroline?
Alphonso posted, “Why did @rodstewart sing Sweet Caroline? Why not Sailing?”
