Army bandsman and magician Richard Jones has become the proud winner of this year's "Britain's Got Talent" after beating off competition from Wayne Woodward and Boogie Storm.
The lance corporal of The Household Cavalry impressed the judges and public with his military-themed act, reported BBC online.
"I can't believe it, thank you so much to everyone that voted - it's been an incredible experience, it means the world to me," the 25-year-old said.
Jones wins a 250,000 pound prize and the opportunity to appear at the Royal Variety Performance.
He is the first magician to win the talent show in its 10-year history.
Also among the 12 finalists was sword swallower Alex Magala, whose act had to be pre-recorded for safety reasons. It involved him sliding upside down a pole, while handcuffed, stopping centimetres above a powered chainsaw.
