The King said: "So this is what I particularly wanted to share - songs which have brought me joy.

"Throughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me.

"I know that is also the case for so many others."

The monarch continued: “But perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration.
