The Band of the Coldstream Guards honored Dolly Parton the morning after her death by performing her iconic hit “9 to 5” during the Changing of the Guard ceremony outside Buckingham Palace. The royal family shared footage of the tribute, remembering Parton for bringing “joy, comfort and inspiration” to millions, including children who benefited from her Imagination Library literacy program. Parton died aged 80 on August 25 following a brief battle with cancer. The country music legend had longstanding connections with the British royal family, including performing at Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee in 1977.
