Ball said it had emerged as a clear favourite from the "hundreds and hundreds" of suggestions sent in by Radio 2 listeners.
Other popular suggestions included Paul McCartney's We All Stand Together and Queen's We Are The Champions.- which organised last year's "Thank You Day" for people who helped the nation through the pandemic. This year's Thank You Day will take place on the last day of the Jubilee celebrations, 5 June, to pay tribute to the Queen after 70 years of service, as well as saying thank you for "the millions of tiny individual acts of kindness that make our communities the special places they are.
"Music is a great way of bringing people together, and this is a fantastic song," said Brendan Cox, co-founder of the coalition. "We'll be doing everything we can to get Sweet Caroline ringing out all over the country on 5 June.
Simply NO what about Queen Don’t stop me now or David Bowie ….this is not American!!!!
Well, definitely a very white song& th royals, most notably Will&Kate with their disastrous Colony hopping tour flashed their white privilege. We also know only whites cld be employed as staff at Bucks for many years &queen remains exempt fr all race discrimination laws since 60'

Seems particularly insensitive: lots of touching,
Didn't read the article but do I have to rush out and buy ingredients for cucumber or egg sandwiches and scones? Just remembered I don't even have bunting !! Am I actually British?
paying billion pounds to celebrate a woman being on a gold throne for 70 years while unicef has to feed british kids ?
The majority of Scotland 🏴won't be singing it or having anything to with this farce
JuliaHB1 afneil IainDale oflynnsocial ZoeTheBall BBC🙄cheerleaders for many stupid things in the name of Woke. There are numerous songs associated with the Queen or nation.... pop songs used at football matches are seriously disrespectful and have NO relevance - idiots🤨
If the Jubilee demonstrates anything, it demonstrates that a massive proportion of the population have little or no connection or support for the monarchy.
Why ?
Anarchy in the UK would suit!
Much as I admire Mr Diamond and his songs, I’m afraid that “Sweet Caroline” has no place in the Jubilee celebrations. The guests at my garden party shall instead be required to sing along to “Rabbit” by Chas & Dave.
Change 'Caroline' to 'Lizzy Beth' so it becomes 'Sweet Lizzy Beth' so much more relevant 👍
The only song I'll sing for the queen is 'Repeat' by Manic Street Preachers.
Never. Loathe the bloody song
Good song, but man it has been played to death of late! Don’t understand the obsession with it!!
How would you like to sing Sweet Caroline for Her Majesty? Nah
Ffs 🤦🏼♀️
People can’t sing on empty stomach. How about the money go towards helping the needy.
Love this song! It’s a very happy song 😊😊😊😊 God save the Queen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Does the Queen courtesy to Caroline? She’s married to the head of the royal House of Hanover, Prince Ernst August.
Sing sweet Queen of mine!!🎼
Errrrrr no? Because nothing says we love you ma’am like a non spontaneous enforced singalong…was this the Brexit opportunities minister deflecting again?
Will it be a party or work event?
Yuck
Neil Diamond Jubilee?
Sweet erm what's her name? Erm.... remind me. Still I guess Americans come up with some catchy songs sometimes, so maybe it'll do.
Surely if we felt like doing this we should pick a song that the Queen likes?
No thanks..
Not expecting much of a contribution from Scotland’s Jubilee street party
Didn’t know UK is a dictatorial country🤔
Naw, English football shite
This can fuck right off.
How original
I’d rather listen to The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Really?
How Sad🙄
Keeping the powder dry for a certain song from The Wizard of Oz.
Every time the lads here it they want to put a bet on with William Hill. That’s what it’s known as a bookies song.
Surely 'Dizzy Miss Lizzy' by the Beatles is a better choice
SingThreeLions
People wanted three lions not to be used at football final, told NO, i love Neil diamond & his music, this is about what the fans want, & the fans want Three Lions, Southgate and Marxism has ruined football, Three Lions is our English Song, for England & Her Majesty. ThreeLions
I love the song, and it's always a winner for the bloke doing a tribute act in a pub, but frankly, I'd rather rub sh¡t in my eyes.
Jaysus. The song sung by Engerland football fans...
No thanks and why ?
steve_wylde
I’m gonna sing ‘what a waste of money…what a waste of money’
Sorry can’t make the sweet Caroline sing-along, I’ll be busy figuring out how to heat my house next winter. Maybe I can use this hot air. I’m glad the entire royal family won’t have to worry about heating all 23 royal residences.
Care to explain what a Neil Diamond song about someone named Caroline has to do with a Queen called Elizabeth?
I am not a Brit, but by heck you Brits seem to be a right miserable bunch, bemoaning a bit of celebration for your head of State’s unique anniversary. Almost all other nations would honour a woman who has reached such a milestone.
I'm watching paint dry,so much more interesting 🤔
Will Nicholas Witchell be there?
I wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire.
She changed her name like
I'll be singing this thanks!!
Why should people sing what is now known as a football gambling anthem and not God Save The Queen?
No.
This is a joke right?
Don't. Just don't.
So radio 2 listeners you mean
Why?
' Good times never seemed so good'... Really?... Gosh I am clearly even more out of touch than I realised.
It’s a U.K. celebration NOT DAM AMERICAN 🙄
I'll be too busy trying to stick my co*k in the ceiling fan .. 😶🤪
Definitely a better song than the dirge, that is the UK national anthem!
Bring back clean for the Queen. Get the commoners on their knees cleaning the pavements
Is the “touching you, touching me” bit a tribute to Prince Andrew?
FTQ
The Queen of England's jubilee and people vote to sing an American artist's song.... 🤣😂 So now its ok to have American artists headline the jubilee ...🤡🤡. I suggest you sing Wagadoo
Isn’t this the point of having a national anthem?
Asked lol
Jeez, instead of everyone asking why, just read the whole story🙈🙈
Whose Caroline the Queen will be asking...
How about no, belongs to the shit England football team brass band and darts!
😡
AbolishTheMonarchy
Better.
Can't they sing a British pop song rather than an American one? And why should we be told, like children,what to do anyway? We are not in lockdown. We are not clapping or banging pans on the orders of some zealous, woke, fanatics, who nobody wants or knows.
Abolish the Monarchy
emilyhewertson This is a rather Nonsey song if you ask me. Her families cup of tea I know😂😂
Good times never felt so good eh
Nation tells queen to do one.
Gold Digger be more appropriate
The English and their pomp and ceremony for a tax dodging billionaire who lives off the working poor. It's stomach churning feudalism and not what Scotland wants.
Nooooooo. It's not football FFS.
AbolishTheMonarchy
Counter offer: no
What about Elizabeth by thebandGHOST? opuseponymous
Lol, you can stuff the jubilee right up your backside!
I thought her name is Elizabeth?
Perhaps we've all heard enough about parties 😉 JohnsonLies AbolishTheMonarchy CostOfLivingCrisis
'Bo-ris must go - ba da da da - he lied to you as well you know'
It had a good run, I guess
This is a joke right? What relevance at all does this have to The jubilee? NONE! It's by an American artist and nothing to do with ELIZABETH! Who in their right mind thought this a good idea? Do we not have any artists from the UK or Commonwealth that couldn't offer a song?
This jubbly is turning out to be a clown show 🤣
