Royal Wedding William and Kate_British Anthem God Save the Queen Westminster Abbey

[MegaJapanFreak]

gotta play this song in our city hall next week.

[CorollaLvr2000]

I know this is going to sound like a silly question, but is the Queen not required/ not allowed to sing the British National Anthem? Every instance of the anthem being performed in her presence that I have seen, she is not singing.

[Rotebuehl1]

@CorollaLvr2000 Well, what would she sing? "God save me, gracious Queen, long live I, noble Queen, God save me, Queen"?

[TheAnglopride]

i don't know why scotland and wales can't use this as their anthem at sporting events as well?

[TheCharlie359]

@TheAnglopride, I often used to ask myself the same question, apparently "God Save The Queen" is the national anthem of the UK as a whole and England's defacto national anthem but Scotland and Wales have their own seperate anthems when not being represented as part of or acting indepentently from the rest of the UK.

Best rendition of 'God Save the Queen' ever! Good thing I studied music in the United Kingdom. Thanks for posting. Greetings from the United States of America!

[drgavaldon1]

I'm an American living in California, and have visited Britain only once- but this is by far the most stirring version of a National Anthem I've ever heard. So I'll join the chorus "God Save the Queen"..!!

@drgavaldon1 As Dutchman, living in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, I will join you in this chorus too.

I'm French and I think the British are lucky to have such a great Queen. Sorry if my english is bad. God save the Queen!!!

[DecmanReturns]

@hectors1972 Restore your monarchy, France!

[MusicPredominates]

@DecmanReturns : With instantaneous news, every government is a monarchy ; just like Punch and Judy !

[PaulPullermann]

long to reign over us god save the queen...i'm not english but i love this anthem singing by a chor

[edinburgh96]

@PaulPullermann Yes a very good anthem indeed.....but it is the British anthem and not the English anthem (perhaps you already knew anyway).

[charlieiscool1000]

Actaully scotland and wales both have there own national anthems for sports like the world cup and so on so it is the English national anthem.

[Myles0Harcourt]

@charlieiscool1000

No it's the national anthem of the United Kingdom. It is only the English national anthem as far as sports are concerned.
