Meaningful reason camera panned to Prince William during emotional Take That lyric

More than 20 million viewers tuned in last night to watch the Coronation Concert air live on television as the likes of Katy Perry, Olly Murs and Lionel Richie delivered fantastic performances for King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Take That singers Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen also reunited for the special event and performed on stage for the first time in four years, the Mirror reports.

The British boyband impressed the monarch with their hit records including Shine and Greatest Day before concluding the gig with Never Forget which was an especially emotional moment for viewers.

The choristers of St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle joined them in an uplifting grand finale to the concert which encouraged guests to stand up and clap.

Fans seemed to love the band's closing song with one person writing on Twitter: "And THAT is why Never Forget will always be in my heart. Nothing can beat that feeling when everyone is doing the arms and singing at the top of their voices."

As Howard sang the lyric, 'someday soon this will all be someone else's dream', the camera panned over to the Wales Family who were smiling while watching the show.

Kate was seen waving the Union Jack flag in the air and looking over at William who was clapping and gently smiling while Charlotte was mimicking the dance.

The moving moment was especially relevant for William and George who are the future monarchs and next in line to the throne.

One beady eyed viewer tweeted a screenshot of the Wales family with the text: "They chose this shot for 'someday this will all be someone else's dream."

Other noticed the Royals soaking up the special moment, with another person commenting: "The Waleses enjoying the concert, especially the kids."

Someone else wrote: "The Prince & Princess of Wales, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte dancing along to Take That in the #CoronationConcert finale."

Despite the likes of Kylie Minogue, Adele and Harry Styles reportedly turning down the opportunity to sing for the newly-crowned King and Queen, it was still a star-studded line up for the celebratory gig at Windsor Castle.

Some particularly notable moments include Lionel Richie taking to the grand piano to perform 'Easy' before moving into 'All Night Long' and getting the crowd of around 20,000 members of the public going.

Top Gun actor Tom Cruise also took to the skies for his cameo at the Coronation Coronation and shared a message for King Charles while flying his own plane.

While speaking to camera, Tom told Charles: "Pilot to pilot, Your Majesty, you can be my wingman any time."

William was also welcomed up to the stage to deliver a moving speech for his newly-crowned father as he told the King how proud his family are of him.

The Prince began with a dad joke as he referenced headliner Lionel Richie's hit song and promised he would not "go on all night long" before paying an emotional tribute to the monarch.

Princess Charlotte seemed to perk up immediately when she saw her dad appear on stage and looked excited as she gestured for her brother to look at the stage.

George, amusingly did not look quite as impressed to see his father in front of the huge crowd.

Kate Middleton was also 'shining' throughout the speech as fans loved how 'proud' she looked of her husband while he spoke about his father. She was spotted laughing at his corny joke and beaming at him from the Royal box.
