Buckingham Palace Honors Patrick Stewart… by Playing the Wrong Star Trek Theme Music

Tributes to the late Sir Patrick Stewart quickly poured in after his death was announced Thursday, with his colleagues from the Star Trek and Marvel franchises sharing their condolences and memories of the actor who played Professor Charles Xavier and Captain Jean-Luc Picard.

In a move worthy of the famous meme of Captain Picard holding his brow, Buckingham Palace in London paid a moving tribute to Stewart on Friday, but in an unintentionally mistaken way.

The Band of the Grenadier Guards performed a medley of Star Trek themes in honor of the actor – none of which were the theme music of the show he starred in.

Instead of playing the theme music of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the guards instead played the theme music from the William Shatner-led original Star Trek series before segueing to the theme from the J.J. Abrams-produced movie reboot trilogy.

Well, it’s the thought that counts. As Captain Picard would say, “We're only mortal.”
