The video is of us playing and singing the King's Coronation Song on Saturday 6th May.

                    THE  KING’S  CORONATION  SONG

They say there’s a new proclamation

 A new ruler we have for the nation

 As steady as rock, he comes from good stock

So join us in our jubilation.

 

As steady as rock, he comes from good stock

So join us in our jubilation

 

And sing for the Ki-ng

Sing for the Ki-ing

And sing for the King with a song  

 

Has always been known, he was heir to the throne

To follow the  steps of another

He learnt from the best, ‘til was put to rest

The Queen of the world the King’s mother

 

He learnt from the best, ‘til was put to rest

The Queen of the world the King’s mother

 

And sing for the ki-ing

Sing for the Ki-ing

And sing for the ki-ing with a song

 

His mother gave all for her people

His father he stood Princely tall

He follows in the footprints of giants

And we toast the new King, one and all

 

And drink to the Ki-ing

Drink to the Ki-ing

And drink to the King to the end

 

And drink to the Ki-ing

Drink to the Ki-ing

And drink to the King of England. …...      ENGLAND
