Summary
Buckingham Palace’s Band of the Coldstream Guards performed Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” during the Changing of the Guard, marking a royal tribute days after the singer’s death Tuesday at 80.
The gesture echoed a long royal connection: Parton performed for Queen Elizabeth II during the 1977 Silver Jubilee in Glasgow, where she was billed as the “Queen of country” meeting the “Queen of England.”
Parton later recalled being terrified she would not curtsy correctly, but said Elizabeth was warm and unconcerned with protocol when they met.
The tribute also mirrored Parton’s own praise for Elizabeth after the queen’s death, when she said the monarch had carried herself with “grace and strength” throughout her life.
