‘She shall be, to the happiness of England, an aged princess; many days shall see her, and yet no day without a deed to crown it’
- Henry VIII (V, 5)
Elizabeth I was crowned here in the Abbey in 1559. She had succeeded her half-sister, Mary I, as queen and reigned for 45 years until her death in 1603. They are buried together in this magnificent tomb in the Abbey's Lady Chapel.

Growth sounds exciting… until it asks you to become someone different to reach it.
Until it asks you to risk embarrassment. To start over. To keep showing up without immediate results. To walk into uncertainty without knowing how things will turn out.
That’s the part people struggle with. Not the dream. The discomfort required to reach it.
Writing this song felt like a musical departure and coming home at the same time. Creating something for Jessie was a new challenge and also felt like second nature all at once. And being a @toystory kid from the age of 5 til now… is an adventure I plan to be on, to infinity and beyond.
Thank you to the brilliant Andrew Stanton for imagining me for this, all those years ago when you wrote this newest film. Thank you to the incomparable @RandyNewman or the gorgeous sonic tapestry of songs and scores you’ve meticulously woven over the years. You created the Toy Story musical world, and we are lucky to get to live in it.
By we, I mean myself and my pal @jackantonoff. We wrote this with so much adoration for these characters that made us laugh and helped us learn lessons and think outside the backyard all throughout our childhoods. “I Knew It, I Knew You” from Toy Story 5 is out everywhere now. 🤠🐴

Today we celebrate a true champion of country music.
For decades, Bob Harris has helped bring incredible artists, unforgettable songs and a love of country music to audiences across the UK and beyond.
Thank you, Bob, for everything you've done for the community, we all love you.
We are heartbroken by the passing of legendary R&B singer Peabo Bryson. His performance of "A Whole New World,” with Regina Bell, from Disney’s Aladdin was the first-ever song from an animated film to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and we will forever treasure his performance on the song as well as his performance of "Beauty and the Beast,” with Celine Dion, from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
I’m heartbroken to hear that we lost Peabo Bryson today. His incredible voice and his kind spirit embodied the beauty of song and performance. He was so wonderful and generous to me all those years ago, when we recorded Beauty and the Beast. He made me so comfortable, as I was just learning to sing in English. He will remain for me always as a real symbol of the joy that music has brought to my life. His voice and his talent will be missed…
My heart is with your family, and may you rest in peace, Peabo.
Love,
Celine xx…
The album that started it all for @LukeCombs.... ✌️
9 years ago today, Luke released his debut album 'This One's for You'. It has been certified Platinum around the world, including the UK and contains singles like "Hurricane", "When It Rains It Pours" and "One Number Away".
It’s a *Toy* Story 🤠
You knew it! My new original song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for Disney and @Pixar’s @toystory 5 will be yours on June 5th. I’ve always dreamed of getting to write for these characters who I’ve adored since I was a 5 year old kid watching the first Toy Story movie. I fell instantly in love with Toy Story 5 when I was lucky enough to see it in its early stages, and I wrote this song as soon as I got home from the screening. Sometimes you just know, right?
You can pre-order now exclusively at https://t.co/NoneI6kxdH and catch Toy Story 5 in theaters June 19th ☁️☁️☁️☁️☁️
Éowyn's deleted battle scene in the Glittering Caves is one of the most famous unreleased sequences from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Director Peter Jackson fully scripted, costumed, and filmed this action sequence, but ultimately left it entirely out of both the theatrical and Extended Editions.
Would you have liked to see this scene in the film, or do you think cutting it was the right decision?
We'll never forget this performance of @TuckerWetmore's "Wind Up Missin' You".
It was released to country radio 2 years ago and went on to reach Number 1 in the UK.
