The King fits tyre to celebrate JCB's 80th birthday

King Charles III was given a royal salute by two JCBs as he visited the Staffordshire headquarters of the global British company JCB to mark its 80th birthday.

The British Head of State changed a tyre on a rather large vehicle and helped to refuel a recently developed hydrogen-powered combustion engine.

JCB, one of the world's top three manufacturers of construction equipment, was founded in Rocester, Staffordshire, in 1945 by Joseph Cyril Bamford.

Nizlopi - "JCB Song" (2005)

The Leamington Spa, Warwickshire duo, consisting of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Luke Concannon and multi-instrumentalist John Parker, had a huge UK No1 with this song in which Concannon reminisces about fun days out as a little boy with his father on his father's JCB through the beautiful Warwickshire countryside. The song is a tribute to the love that fathers and sons have for each other.

The band takes its name from a Hungarian girl that Concannon had a crush on at school.
