Beyoncé serenades Barack Obama

Posted by Jane Murphy

Oooh - the emotion! Beyoncé rounded off last night's We Are One Barack Obama inaugural concert in Washington DC with a rousing rendition of 'God Bless America'. I've watched it three times now - and each time I've started to well up, despite the fact I'm not even slightly American.

Things to look out for in the video: Tom Hanks looking absolutely freezing; Bono looking a teeny bit starstruck; and George W Bush wandering across the back of the stage in a long brown raincoat and flat cap, like Eric Morecambe used to do when Ernie Wise had tried to bundle him off home so he wouldn't ruin the end-of-show song.*

* Er... I may just have imagined that last one.
