Wearing a white lace top and perfect hair and makeup, Geri, 49, remained wide-eyed as she spoke directly into the camera.

She said: "Our Queen, kind...loving...strong...serving our country, the Commonwealth, uniting us all together.

"Always putting others before yourself, you're truly inspirational, inside and out, we thank you...we love you."

However, her message was immediately mocked by viewers, with one writing on Twitter: "Geri Halliwell sounded like she was speaking to her cult leader. And why does she always wear white?"

Another added: "Dear God. Geri Halliwell has already forced me to put Netflix on and it hasn't even started yet."

A third tweeted: "Lord, Geri Horner, that was a bit intense."

Meanwhile a fourth wrote: "Um, that was super weird from Geri Halliwell..."

Other tributes to come in on the night included Dolly Parton, Michael Buble and Barry Gibb.

Meanwhile the show opened with a surprisingly sketch featuring the Queen herself as she hosted Paddington Bear for tea at Buckingham Palace.

After the bear made a bit of a mess, he then offered her a marmalade sandwich, but the Queen revealed she always keeps one in her handbag.

The pair were then seen tapping their spoons on their teacups in time to rock band Queen's opening song We Will Rock You.

Live performances also included Craig David, Diversity and a musical medley from West End shows including Hamilton and Six.
