Opening up the national television broadcast of Ottawa's 2011 Parliament Hll Canada Day celebration, Great Big Sea perform for a live (and wild with enhtusiasm) audience of 160,000, including their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (aka Will and Kate), seated front and centre. "Get up, get up get up! We're in the presence of Royalty!" Alan shouts, and brings a (future) King to his own feet in response. Be sure not to miss Alan's courtly bow he makes to them during the crowd singalong part of the song. (At the end of the song, Alan officially introduced the Duke and Duchess, but this fool was so busy grinning with delight at the Other King, she forgot to get that part on video.)
