The Darkness' bizarre performance in VE Day concert leaves fans baffled as they question BBC's 'odd' choice to sign the rock band (and even Queen Camilla covers her ears!)


The BBC's VE Day 80th Anniversary celebration saw an unlikely addition to its lineup on Thursday, as iconic rock band The Darkness took to the stage.

In a show that featured renditions of 1940s classics such as We'll Meet Again and I Got Rhythm, the famous group took to the stage to perform for the many war veterans, and members of the Royal Family, in attendance. This was a sentiment that appeared to be echoed by Queen Camilla, as the camera caught her covering her ears, while she chatted to 107-year-old World War Two bomber pilot Harry Richardson.
