We will be playing at the Sandringham visitors centre for the Kings's Coronation celebrations on both the 6th and 8th of May.
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
