The world awaits details about Queen Elizabeth II's funeral ceremony on Monday, including what music will be played during the service.
The queen, like her son King Charles III, was a music buff. Known for her love of songs, from classical music to bagpipes, Her Majesty woke up to the sound of a piper on many mornings. And musicians played almost everywhere she went.
But what's it like to perform for royalty? Claire Jones is a Welsh musician who first struck a chord with the royal family back in 2007, and had been chosen to become King Charles III's official harpist while he was a prince.
After the queen's death, Jones and her composer husband were asked to write a new song to welcome Charles to Wales for the first time as King. Jeff Semple has more on what it's like to perform music fit for a king.
