Watch: Footage of singing goat goes viral

Footage of a goat singing during an animal blessing service has gone viral with more than two million hits worldwide.

Pablo the goat left churchgoers in hysterics after he appeared to bleat along with the organ music during an animal blessing service last week at Worcester Cathedral.

The clip was shared on TikTok and swiftly went viral.

Worcester Cathedral's spokesperson, Sarah Bower, said: “We think Pablo the goat enjoyed the Animal Blessing Service.”

The full service will be broadcast on BBC’s Songs of Praise next month.

Fans posted praise for Pablo in the video comments as they shared his unique performance.

One user wrote: “Get Pablo into the choir although he sounds more like Billy (goat) Graham to me!"

Another said: “Don’t hush him, he is giving his testimony and I want to hear it. He should be on Britain's Goat Talent next year."
