00:00You've just heard the King's Guard playing Could You Be Loved by the late Bob Marley.

00:13I always recall his words, the people have a voice inside of them.

00:18He gave the world that voice in a way that no one who heard can ever forget.

00:23I was particularly pleased to meet Ray when I visited Battersea Power Station in December

00:29to see how my Prince's Trust, now renamed the King's Trust, continues to help young

00:36people very nearly half a century since I first founded it.

00:41Anyone who saw Ray perform at the Grammy Awards will know that she is a great ambassador for

00:47British music.

01:09Kylie Minogue came to St James' Palace to perform this song in 2012 in advance of the

01:15Diamond Jubilee visit to Australia.

01:18We had a large reception for Australians in the United Kingdom and as Kylie is an ambassador

01:25for my now King's Trust, she very generously agreed to come and perform.

01:30The song is The Locomotion and this is music for dancing.

01:35Again, it has that infectious energy which makes it, I find, incredibly hard to sit still.

01:51This very last song is one of my particular favourites.

01:55It is Upside Down by Diana Ross.

01:58When I was much younger, it was impossible not to get up and dance when it was played

02:04and I wonder if I can still just manage it.
