Her Bees are all in mourning

Their boss is now no longer

She’s left the hive that was so alive

Now slipped just over yonder

King Charles now takes the reins

To produce the Royal Honey

What is Mediation?

Almost 49,000 people waited more than four hours to be seen at RBH’s A&E department – politicians call for action

The Bees will soon accept him

Cos they need to earn their money

It’s an old Royal tradition

That will keep making history

Her majesty’s gone but never forgotten

She was our very own Queen Bee
