The recently crowned King of England instructed the Band of the Welsh Guards to perform the 'Queen of Rock 'n' Roll's 1989 hit The Best during the changing of the guard in front of the royal residence in London on Friday.

They were joined by the First Battalion Welsh Guards Corps of Drums during the centuries-old ceremony involving the King's Guard handing over responsibility for protecting Buckingham and St James' palaces to the New Guard.

The 74-year-old monarch first met in 1986 when Turner performed at the Prince's Trust All-Star Rock Concert at London's Wembley Stadium.

The hit single is also of great sentimental value to other members of the royal family according to Prince William – he told Apple Fitness+'s Time to Walk series his late mum Princess Diana, would play the track for him and his brother, Prince Harry, while she was driving them back to boarding school.

 The funeral arrangements for the iconic Queen of Rock 'n Roll, whose death at age 83 was announced on 24 May,  have not yet been made public, but a spokesperson for the family confirmed that only the star's closest friends and family will be in attendance.
