I've been curious about Mike's Royal Wedding Anthem - which I like - for a while now. I found this information on the web:
"Mike was asked to compose a piece of music to mark the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer (although Mike admitted that he had composed the piece several months before, and hadn't yet found a use for it). A studio version of the track was played on British radio prior to the wedding. The anthem was performed on July 28th - the day of the wedding - at the Guildhall Yard in London, and some of this performance was broadcast on British television."
And here's a different but excellent rendering of it:
