The late Dolly Parton received a royal send-off from the King and Queen Wednesday morning.

During the traditional Changing of the Guard ceremony, the Band of the Coldstream Guards came together with the Irish Guards’ Number 12 Company to play one of Parton’s biggest hits, the 1980 classic “9 To 5,” outside Buckingham Palace. King Charles and Queen Camilla later shared video of the performance on social media.

“Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many — including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library,” the caption read.

“We will always [heart emoji] you,” the royals concluded, referencing another one of Parton’s biggest hits.

The royal family’s musical tribute was just one of many tributes paid to the Queen of Country following the news of her death. In the United States, President Trump ordered that flags be flown at half staff, and the Empire State Building was lit up in glittering pink in her honor.

The “Jolene” singer’s nephew, Bryan Seaver, announced her death in a video shared to Instagram on Tuesday. She was 80 years old.

“Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones,” Parton’s reps said in a statement to multiple news outlets.

“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched,” it continued. “Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand.”
