"England" National Anthem

[1961_vintage]

God Save the Queen - truly awful, awful anthem.
When will this awful anachronism be ditched??

there was a time you could have been hung, drawn and quartered for writing that but I think it would be awfully, awfully anachronistic - just quartering is awful enough for you...

Why?

Jerusalem should be our national anthem

Agreed , a national anthem should be about the country not a person.

This is England

 

[Gelsons Dad]

There is only one anthem for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The national songs for each of England, Ireland(Northern), Scotland and Wales are of little importance. Hence Scotland using a pop song from the seventies. They should have gone with bye bye baby if you ask me.
