King Charles is honoring Tina Turner with a musical tribute fit for the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll.

After the legendary singer’s death was announced on Wednesday, the newly crowned royal allowed the Band of the Welsh Guards to perform her 1989 hit “The Best” during the changing of the guard in front of Buckingham Palace on Friday.

The group was also joined by the First Battalion Welsh Guards Corps of Drums, Hello! reported, for the ceremony where The King's Guard hands over responsibility for protecting Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace to the New Guard.

Charles, 74, first met Turner in 1986, when she performed at The Prince’s Trust All-Star Rock Concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
