“It’s the double act you didn’t know you needed in your life,” reckons Robbie Williams, and whether you agree with that or not, his cover of Blur’s Parklife alongside UK actor Danny Dyer at Hyde Park this weekend certainly felt like a moment of some sort.
The unexpected duet formed part of Williams’ set for his American Express presents BST show on Saturday, and saw Dyer playing to the geezer gallery as he reprised Phil Daniels’ spoken-word verses from the 1994 original. He and Williams were accompanied by a 44-strong brass band from the Coldstream and Welsh Guards.
