Processional

"The first movement (Allegro) of Boyce's Symphony No. 1 in B-flat was the first piece of music played during the procession of the bride and bridegroom at the conclusion of the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018." - Wikipedia

A really splendid choice

      Was made

When a piece of Boyce

      Was played


It made the eyes of Harry

      Sparkle,

After his pledge to marry

      Ms. Markle.
