The singer went misty-eyed as she recalled being asked to sing a song by her late father and becoming ‘a star for the day’.
Addressing her 5,600 followers she said: ‘I remember the Queens Coronation. I was four years old and there was a street party in my home Glasgow where I come from.
‘And I remember being on my dads shoulders and singing a song for the Queens Coronation. It went down really well, went down a storm and I was a star for the day on the street.’
Lulu then sang the song In A Golden Coach by Dickie Valentine but as she sang the two verses she became emotional and dewy eyed.
She let out a sigh on the verge of tears and said: ‘Happy Platinum Jubilee everybody.’
