Buckingham Palace Changing of the Guard perform Bon Jovi medley in nod to Harry
A medley of Bon Jovi songs were played outside Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard to launch the recording of a new charity single.
The Band of the Household Guard, which featured a full brass section, covered hits by the American rock band such as It's My Life, Livin' On A Prayer and You Give Love A Bad Name.
It came as Prince Harry teamed up with the band's leader Jon Bon Jovi to record a charity single "Unbroken" for the Invictus Games Foundation.
A choir made up of veterans and serving personnel from the British military feature on the song created by Jon Bon Jovi to shine a spotlight on those living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Proceeds from the sale of the record will go to the foundation that supports the Invictus Games, a sporting event for sick and injured veterans that is one of Harry's favourite causes.
