Choosing a winner was never going to be easy.

But the prize went to the Hawkstone Farmers Choir, the first choir ever to win the show.

Winning the prize, they dedicated their performance to farmers across the country.

They win a spot on the line up of the Royal Variety Show, to perform in front of the King, as well as a whopping £250,000 cash prize.

Dog-lovers' favourites Anastasiia and Salsa took to the BGT stage

With magicians, dance acts, singers and even a drone display to pick from, the Britain's Got Talent final had something for everyone.

The show started with fire juggler Liwei Yang, whose dangerous act saw her balancing on her husband's back while spinning a flaming platform on her feet.

Next up was smiling magician Rafferty Coope whose final performance was a magical message of positivity.

Super cute dancing dog act Anastasiia and Salsa were next, with the judges calling Salsa's leaping and spinning performance "adorable", "graceful" and "stunning".

Fabian Fox's magical predictions wowed the judges

Fourth to perform were the Hawkstone Farmers Choir - Amanda's golden buzzer act.

They sang an original song called This Is Home, bringing Amanda to tears.

Illusionist Fabian Fox was next on stage with his time-travelling magic show that included a surprise appearance form last year's BGT winner Harry Moulding.

Next came Sonny Green, a performance poet who took to the stage alone to deliver a poem inspired by his dad.

Then it was the turn of dance troupe Sadeck Berrabah and LMA with an eye-popping formation performance.

The colourful Ted Hill was up next. He had Simon laughing out loud with his kooky comedy.

The final two acts to perform were Celestial and Matty Juniosa.

Celestial's drone show was a love letter to Britain's Got Talent, showing some iconic winners from the past as well as projecting Simon Cowell's face in lights above the London skyline.

And to end, Matty Juniosa had the live audience on their feet with his cover of Nothing Compares 2 U.
