The Oxford-based learning disabilities charity raised £1,200 on Sunday, June 14 to help support its work across Oxfordshire.

Yellow Submarine’s Got Talent saw 150 audience members treated to an evening of joy, laughter and unforgettable moments.

Members of the charity, who all have learning disabilities or autism, took to the stage at The Corn Exchange in Witney.

From singing and dancing to comedy and even a spelling bee, every act brought something unique.

A spokeswoman said: “For many of our members, stepping onto a stage in front of a packed audience was a huge achievement in itself.

“Watching people who have spent years building confidence through Yellow Submarine stand proudly in the spotlight was emotional for everyone in the room.”

One audience member named Meredith said: “It was very moving to see some members that I have known to be so shy and lacking in confidence get up on stage, perform and enjoy it. Really wonderful.”

The evening was full of standout moments, but a real highlight for many was Aaron, whose “breathtaking” performance of The Music of the Night, from The Phantom of the Opera, left the audience “completely spellbound”.

His powerful rendition earned a standing ovation and brought many people to tears.

Steve, caretaker at the Corn Exchange, said: “It was the first time in 30 years I had a tear in my eye during a performance for an event I was supervising.”

The charity said that the greatest success wasn’t the fundraising total, but the “pride on performers’ faces, the cheers from family and friends, and the reminder that everyone deserves the opportunity to be seen, celebrated and applauded”.

It added: “A huge thank you to everyone who performed, volunteered, donated and joined us for what was a truly special evening.

“After such an incredible debut, we’re already hoping that Yellow Submarine’s Got Talent will become an annual event.”

The pair have been at loggerheads for some time now but in January it came to a head when the 27-year-old made explosive allegations in a lengthy Instagram post.

He claimed that his mother “hijacked” his first dance with his wife, Nicola Peltz, and danced “inappropriately on me” in front of their guests, adding that he had never felt more “uncomfortable or humiliated” in his life.

The public feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his family began simmering in April 2022 and has been reported on in the press since.

However, it has been alleged by Pop B*tch that the pair’s falling out may have started when Brooklyn was linked to the singer Rita Ora.

Brooklyn Beckham and Rita Ora were linked in May 2017 after being spotted enjoying a dinner date at the Electric Diner in Notting Hill.

The online blog wrote it is an “unlikely rumour circulating in West London about the real reasons for the father-son fall out.

“That Brooklyn’s unhappiness with his Dad pre-dates his marriage to Nicola. It started back when he had a brief fling with Rita Ora.”

The cause was not disclosed, and there is no suggestion that Ms Ora started it.

Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham have lived in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds for around a decade, sharing a mansion in Great Tew near Chipping Norton.

The famous cook was a judge on the show during the BBC years between 2010 and 2016, before it left for Channel 4.

Dame Mary has lived in Henley, in the south of Oxfordshire, with her husband Paul Hunnings, since 2019, having previously lived in London.

Now, in a new interview, the 91-year-old has admitted there is one part of her family story she wishes she could change.

Speaking on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, Dame Mary explained that her biggest regret centres on the relationship she had with her late father.

“I wish I’d spoken more to my father, who was quite brusque,” she told Ms Cotton.

She added: “I should’ve talked and spent more time with him, but when I came to London to work, I’d go home at weekends and see friends.”

Looking back, Dame Mary says she now feels she should have prioritised time with her dad over socialising.

“I should’ve spent more time with him,” she added.

Ms Cotton responds that many people share similar feelings about relatives they have lost, saying: “I think most of us feel like that about a parent or grandparent – wishing we’d asked for more stories – that’s what I’m craving from my nan, all those brilliant life stories.”

Dame Mary also reflected on the guidance she would pass on to her younger self.

“Don’t make rash decisions,” she said, suggesting that when a new offer or venture comes along, it is better to “sleep on it, and do something about it the next morning.”
