Good Morning Britain's Kate Garraway was in tears after Elton John's emotional tribute to Derek Draper.
The broadcaster attended the iconic musician's gig at the 02 Arena on Monday alongside her husband. Derek fell critically ill after contracting coronavirus in 2020 and Kate has helped care for the former political lobbyist throughout his ongoing health battle.
Kate was wowed when Elton spotted them in the crowd and dedicated his hit song, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, to them. The presenter has taken to Instagram to reveal she has found footage of the emotional moment as she shared the clip with her 1.1m followers.

She said: "So this was a moment. Finally found someone who had actually filmed it rather than just burst into joyous tears as we did!!! Still can’t quite believe we were there at all - even hours before we feared Derek would be too weak - but he was determined.
"Yes Derek has been back in hospital this week & yes there’s such a long road ahead but #eltonjohn & @davidfurnish you gave the kids & Derek a moment that we will never forget and has lifted their spirits again to feel anything is possible. Thank you for your inspiring music and huge heart."
She added: "Thank you too to everyone else who made the impossible possible. All the carers, the #rocketentertainment team, the gang @theo2london who work so hard to make concerts like this accessible & @addisonleecabs who worked hard to find suitable transport. We are bursting with gratitude xx"
Susanna Reid took to the comments as she said: "So beautiful." Kate has previously revealed on Good Morning Britain how Elton reached out to offer support after Derek fell seriously ill.
She said: "Elton John contacted me. It was so strange. I was like, ‘Elton… John?’ We do have a mutual friend, which I didn’t know about. And because of all the work he does with the Aids Foundation he was like, ‘What can I do to help? I know a bit about antiviral stuff. And I’m on board. I’ll try to help. He’s incredible.”
