Party at the Palace: Geri Horner tribute to Queen

Geri Horner sent a video message to the Queen for her Platinum Jubilee but BBC viewers watching Party at the Palace felt it was too ‘intense’ for the situation.

The 49-year-old singer, who rose to fame in the Spice Girls as ‘Ginger Spice’, was one of a number of famous faces to have joined the video tribute to Her Majesty.

Geri wore a white lace top and perfect hair as she looked into the camera to deliver her message to mark the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.

She said: “Our Queen, kind… loving… strong… serving our country, the Commonwealth, uniting us all together.

“Always putting others before yourself, you’re truly inspirational, inside and out, we thank you… we love you.”

While Geri was hoping it would come across as an earnest tribute, viewers took to social media to share their thoughts on what they had just watched.

One viewer tweeted: “Geri Halliwell sounded like she was speaking to her cult leader. And why does she always wear white?”

Another wrote: “Um, that was super weird from Geri Halliwell…”

A third tweeted: “Lord, Geri Horner, that was a bit intense.”

Rock legends Queen have started the show, with the likes of Alicia Keys, Hans Zimmer, Ella Eyre, Craig David and Mabel performing later on.

Elbow and George Ezra will also share the three-stage set up with the likes of Duran Duran, Andrea Bocelli, Mimi Webb, Sam Ryder, Jax Jones, Celeste, Nile Rodgers, Sigala and Diversity.

Fans were going crazy in the crowd as Queen and Adam Lambert opened the show with classic hit We Will Rock You.
