‘I’m pretty sure there are some parents in here,’ she began. ‘Whose kids are very angry at you right now. They don’t know what Boeing is but they know what a Katy Perry is.

Katy teasingly mocked his Geordie accent before thanking him for his work in Afghanistan and performing the hit song Birthday as a tribute to him.
