Dolly Parton has been honoured in a remarkable tribute outside Buckingham Palace, where the Band of the Coldstream Guards performed her iconic hit '9 to 5' during the Changing of the Guard ceremony. The performance took place on 26 August, just one day after the country music legend died from cancer at the age of 80, giving the traditional royal ceremony an unexpected but poignant musical tribute to one of America's most beloved entertainers.
The sight of British military musicians performing one of Parton's best-known songs quickly attracted attention online, with footage of the moment being shared across social media. The choice of '9 to 5' was particularly fitting given the song's enduring popularity in Britain and its status as one of Parton's signature tracks.
