English National Anthem

Post by IainD »

Been in t' news, Any Suggestions?

"On Ilkley Moor Baht 'at" perhaps, given that Yorkshire is the largest County?

Jerusalem is pretty stirring when belted out, but a bit religious (then again, it is a hymn)

New England - Kirsty Maccoll (Written by Billy Bragg)

Something Chaz and Dave or the Wurzels?

Isn't it Engerland Engerland Engerland, repeat until you fall over?

It was 20 years ago in a national anthem contest in a backpacker bar in Darwin huh:

An instrumental version of "Only fools and horses" maybe ? No words, just stand upright with one hand on your heart and the other holding your pie and chips (behind your back, out of respect of course ) :)

Surely it must just be "God save the queen." If more independent minded places have gone and got their own new national anthems they clearly don't need it anymore.
I went to the Caribbean on holiday with my wife last year.

Jamaica?

No, she wanted to.

I'm a long way off being a Royalist but just leave things as they are or the country will be a target for ridicule.

I'm not really into jingoism no matter which country it is and I still prefer to have a British National Anthem which belongs to all of us but if the other countries that are part of the Union choose to sing something different then that's their choice and I really don't have a problem with it.

I've got to admit that there's something rather special about going to a major sporting occasion and singing God Save YOUR Gracious Queen to the opposition supporters (thumbs)
