Flash forward to 2012, one of the most important years in British history, and Barlow sits at the helm as a main player, having been roped in by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II herself to compose the official song to mark her 60 year reign.
Barlow, aided by the godfather of musical theatre, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, toured the Commonwealth to source the sounds and voices that represent what the queen means to the world.
