"It was fantastic. Got to meet some absolute legends. Honestly thank you all for all your kind messages - I've seen it all, I've just been on social media now and just thank you for all your lovely messages about my performance.

"I loved it! Wish I could have done more. But what an honour it was!"

The Voice star added: "I am off now for the next couple of weeks and I'm going to enjoy myself at home with Amelia and the dog and just have some me time!

"But what a way to end the last couple of weeks by doing this. I loved every minute of it and I'm proud."

Many fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Murs' performance, with some saying the singer outshone Katy Perry and Lionel Ritchie.

He was joined on stage with a live band and several backup dancers, as he serenaded the crowd dressed in an all-white suit complete with a white flower and black shoes.

The star said he was "proud" and "honoured" to have been asked to be part of the line-up for the royal event .

"It's a bit surreal but I am so honoured. I am on tour at the moment so only yesterday I saw the stage. It's the biggest thing in my career," he said on BBC Radio 2.
