Fans rejoiced when Kermit The Frog ‘brought some serious groove’ to the Coronation Concert as he danced to Take That with Prince Edward at the Royal Box.
The doll stole the show as he waved a Union Jack flag and threw his arms in the air as the band took the stage at Windsor Castle on Sunday.
Much to the amusement of the Duke of Edinburgh, Kermit sang the lyrics to the 1995 hit Never Forget.
Viewers balked at the scenes, claiming it was the “climax” of the concert as the character gave it his all.
One person shared his thoughts on Twitter, writing, “The best part of the #coronation concert was Kermit at the Royal Box.”

Not a big fan of Katy Perry, but she looked great and performed great. However, Kermit stole the show by singing along to Take That,” said one viewer.
Another fan posted: ‘Loved the #CoronationConcert so many great acts. Fantastic finale and Kermit dances to Take That!’
“We were all Kermit at the time. Banger of a classic tune to end the evening. Great show,” one viewer wrote.
King Charles stood up to dance alongside the Queen at the Coronation concert as they and their family got carried away to the music of Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and a spectacular Take That finale.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte led the royals in a sing-along at the British boy band’s final performance at Windsor Castle.
Charles III and his wife Camilla also laughed lavishly at Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog, who even appeared with them in the royal box before the dais and Windsor Castle turned patriotic red, white and blue.

Grooving: The royals danced on their feet during the first coronation concert in history
The pair were cheered everywhere by the 20,000-strong crowd, who cheered the King and Queen on three occasions as they arrived as the sun set for the show that beamed into homes in 100 countries around the world.
And when night fell, the royals put on their glow stick wristbands, stood up and started dancing to Lionel as he sang All Night Long. Katy Perry released hits including Roar before Take That wrapped up the spectacular show with Shakespeare, ballet and a drone show that reflected the monarch’s love of the environment, culminating in a blue whale hovering above the castle.
At the finale, choristers from St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle sang the opening of Take That’s song Never Forget, giving the show an uplifting finale.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte clapped along to the song before the king joined in – and there was a dancing queen, as Camilla moved to the music. The royal couple then held up their Union flags as the concert drew to a close, William tickling George’s nose with his own.
