Colin served in the British army for 25 years
In an emotional final episode, Colin Thackery became the oldest contestant ever to win BGT.
The 89-year-old pensioner beat off competition from illusionist X and Ben Hart, who came second and third, with a rendition of the song Love Changes Everything by Andrew Lloyd Webber.
He takes home a prize of £250,000 and a spot in the Royal Variety Performance for the Queen.
Speaking afterwards Colin said he was "absolutely astonished".
"It's incredible, I don't know what to say, I'm stuck for words for a change! Thank you very much, all of you, all the backing I've had."
