Britain's Got Talent duet with grandson was 'greatest moment' for grandpa

A grandfather says performing on a talent show with his 10-year-old grandson is a moment he will always remember. Lucciano told the Britain's Got Talent judges his love for singing came from performing at care homes with his grandfather Frankie during school holidays. He then surprised the audience and his grandfather by asking if he could join him on stage. The pair chose to sing History by One Direction and received a standing ovation. Reflecting on the experience, Frankie said: "Honestly, I didn't know if the heart could take it any more, it was one of the greatest moments I'll always remember." He added: "I was just quite happy sat there watching him, but thought this was my chance and got up there with him."
