Gary Barlow - Gary Barlow's Brave Olympics Performance Brings Tributes Far And Wide

Barlow's performance ignited Twitter, with well wishes coming from all and sundry. Singer Lily Allen tweeted "I don't know how Gary Barlow does it. What a guy, seriously brave." Allen herself has suffered the premature loss of a child previously. Daybreak's Lorraine Kelly commented: "Good on Gary Barlow for performing at such a tough time for him and his family." Her sentiments were echoed by 'This Morning' presenter Philip Schofield, who tweeted: "This is so brilliant. Tough moment for Gary but beautifully done." His co-presenter Holly Willoughby, meanwhile, added: "Gary... don't know how to put it into words... Xxx".

Denise Van Outen joined the clamour, writing "So moving. Gary is amazing for doing this". And talk show host Piers Morgan said "I don't know how Gary Barlow's had the strength to do this tonight - Rip his poor little girl. Poppy." Gary Barlow's baby Poppy will no doubt be forever remembered by the singer, his family, band-mates and fans.
