"God Save The Queen" at Royal Wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - April 29th 2011

[30chrisu]

God Save the Queen!

[PrinzessinLUNAlauert]

I don't sing "Happy Birthday" at my own birthday.

I just stand there like the queen.

[poikaudi]

Britain should get a new national anthem; should be more patriotic than just singing about the queen.

[51wins]

@poikaudi

The Queen is patriotic.

[poikaudi]

@51wins Mind you but think about if it was at soldiers funeral or any given patriotic event and for the national anthem you got to sing about a person. That's doesn't look patriotic. I'd rather sing a national anthem that glorifies my country and why me and my fellow mates are risking our lives for. Not for some person.

[rucksplash08]

@poikaudi The queen is the embodiment of the United Kingdom in British constitutional law. She does not rule the country, but she is the ultimate symbol of the nation. The "some person" is the one to whom you and your mates would have sworn your oaths and the one who you were fighting for.

[fraizer57]

God fuck the ugly old whore mafia Queen of darkness Elezabeth Vagina, her long eared mental faggot tampon lovin Prince of darkness Charles Prince of Hells. God fuck all of the untouchable racist piglets in Fuckingham Palace. Bunch of cock euckers with no use. I hope the Muslim extreemist soon & sooner than anyone could think will kick this beastly family in their ass. I love to be withthem on that day & take my revange for what the fuckers did to millions like me for so long. Fuck Britain.

[sembradora01]

bello himno (precious national anthem)

[myViewQueens]

God Save the Queen of Canada.

[MrZippyDiapersquirt]

God Save the Queen!

[peakster753]

I wouldn't know what to do myself with a congregation signing something like that towards me...

[PoprocksAndCoke777]

You know that awkward moment when everyone is singing happy birthday to you? imagine how the Queen felt there.

[lytrigian]

@PoprocksAndCoke777 She's been hearing it for almost exactly 60 years now. I imagine she's used to it.

[SamhainTheDark]

I've heard of people who think she's snobbish for not singing the anthem. Cause, you know, nothing says modesty like singing a song about YOURSELF!!!!

[hiroshi2020]

@SamhainTheDark Indeed! And we have a humble Queen! God Bless her!

[mindspring57]

@SamhainTheDark According to Alan Michie, "God Save The Queen," published in 1952, between the death of King George VI and the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret once asked her father, "Papa, do you sing 'God Save My Gracious Me?'" Margaret, when asked where she came up with her remarks, replied, "at my mother's knee, or some such low joint." Indeed, it was lucky that Lillibet was the elder.

[EnglishGavz]

It must be like having Happy Birthday sung to you, only they do it every other day.

[wiggyandtee]

I don't think the Queen is following proper protocol by not singing the national anthem. But instead of singing God Save the Queen (which would basically be a prayer for herself) she should be singing God Save the King (because there's nothing wrong with saying a prayer for her son, Charles, or her grandson, William)

[tartandaddy]

@wiggyandtee ya think? YAWN!

[Carlos45460]

The royal family of England, are Illuminati, so I say death to the royal family of England.

[tartandaddy]

@Carlos45460 maybe she thinks the same about your family - but has the good grace to keep such vicious, murderous thoughts to herself - makes her the better person I think.

[XxGREATxBRITAINxX]

@Carlos45460 I'm going in the Parachute Regiment soon, and if I ever found out who you were I'd kill you.

[malouxoupa2012]

very nice...

[gifromeo]

SPLENDID!!GREETINGS FROM ROMANIA!

[WorldIslamicOrder]

whore of Babylon

[Philomenaq]

With regard to Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowels (the legality of the ‘marriage’ is certainly most questionable) and although most people knew she was a rather vulgar coarse old slut I had not realised she came with quite so much baggage. No wonder HM The Queen rejected Camilla. Does Charles actually have a serious mental deficiency as there is something wrong in choosing this wretched pox raddled whore who opened her legs to anything when she was younger and probably still does?

[lungkk]

LONG LIVE OUR QUEEN!!

[bergkalis]

I'm not english nor british but I'm touched by the pride and emotion of Mr. Francis Middleton singing the anthem. Shows that there is a real man!

[wiggyandtee]

@bergkalis It's Michael Francis Middleton - just for the record

[bergkalis]

@wiggyandtee And soon Sir Michael Francis Middleton, whatever... What I said is that there isn't just the father of a pretty girl (with all the respect to the Dutchess) but also a faithfull subject of your Kingdom.

[velkanvalerius]

La reina no puede cantar ...Es el protocolo estricto

[hins108]

what a history the british has. it' just soooo sentimental and can u believe it's been like this for centuries and carried down to the modern era!!! LORD SAVE THE QUEEN.

[TheSonicSkier]

philip. dude. sing in time with it...

[Gotenland]

"Heil Dir im Siegerkranz" the old German hymn... not very british...;-)

But ok... let's celebrate teutonic brotherhood without borders!

[AmberLantern]

I love it how she doesn't sing. Bet she's thinking "That's right. SING for me bitches!"

[TalonMercenary]

@AmberLantern LOOL

[sedwarg]

@AmberLantern do you sing 'happy birthday dear me' on your birthday?

[rucksplash08]

@AmberLantern It would be rather tacky of her to sing to her own health.

[bobby777knight]

Wonder what the Queen feels at that time?

[thedpfman170]

She aint no human being

[Chipmd21]

The queen is like Eh I heard it a million times. And so she did. God bless the queen. Long live the queen.

[SaharM100]

Gave me goosebumps! Made me feel so proud

[mlew71]

UNITED KINGDOM -- FOREVER

[UnHommeFeminin]

Gode save the Queen

[30chrisu]

God save the Queen

[mrsBlomsten]

I whis I  whas British

[Harry15331603]

God save Queen Elizabeth II !

[wiggyandtee]

I think the Queen should feel free to sing the anthem too, future Queens most certainly need God's blessing as well, as long as she doesn't sing God save our gracious me" or God save your gracious Queen" she is not necessarily praying for herself.

[animameus]

@wiggyandtee

This is an observation, not a criticism of your comment.

It would never occur to Her Majesty, one so deeply imbued with manners, class, and elegance; to do such a self-serving thing as to sing the British National Anthem. One can likely imagine that she prays silently for the welfare of the Nation that she represents with dignity to the World, as she listens to its strains.

[joshwakeman]

God Save the Queen playing to over 2 billion homes around the world.

[charlesdcw1990]

Long may she Reign; Victorious, Happy, and Glorious!!!

[squidgetpj92]

i'm not british, but i can definitely say this is an absolutely beautiful piece. good luck kate and will!!! ^_^

[guilhermegui48]

Perfeito. Não sou admirador da moanrquia, mas me encanta o charme, a organização desse sistema.

[nbb1603]

As a very proud aussie, it is of my opinion that God save the Queen shits all over our national anthem. Period

[simplystreeptacular]

@nbb1603 Every national anthem ever shits all over "Advance Australia Fair," I have to tell you, and I say that when mine is written to a tune meant to be sung DRUNK!

Really, why don't you lot just make "Waltzing Matilda" your national anthem? It pretty much is anyway.

[SnowyHistory]

@simplystreeptacular Dude I'm an Aussie and if I had it my way, God Save The Queen would still be our national anthem. Unfortunately the number of constitutional monarchists in Australia is decreasing, hopefully the Royal Wedding has promoted a lot of the stuff that's been vanishing. Ah, the old days gone...

[aussieeagle2512]

@SnowyHistory To a degree I agree. But I think Her Majesty needs to give Australia or even perhaps Australia & NZ jointly our own monarch but one that still ranks under the Queen. Its simply not feasible to have our actual Head of State so far away, and the political-appointee in the form of the Governor-General is not sufficent for a country as mature and large as ours. Our present Prime Ministerial rule is scary to clarify. Apparently T.R.Hs Charles and William wanted to be G-G of Australia.

[luke96241]

@aussieeagle2512 Bugger off Aussies. Don't get us tangled up with your constitutional changes. We are fine as we are. Dealing with the Maori's whining about getting there land back is bad enough. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN FROM NZ.

[4FabBEATLES]

the whole entire album of music and readings from the wedding of William and Catherine is on vinyl,cassette,cd, and itunes- so if you want the music go buy it!

[pidgeblev]

British and very proud, as all Brits should be...

[KCTKOC]

@pidgeblev - British ancestry here even though I am an American. Great tribute!

[williammannix123]

@pidgeblev sorry but why should all brits be proud? when 3 out of the 4 countries pretty much had no choice?

[pidgeblev]

@williammannix123 I don't believe that to be true! Im a Northern Irish man and am as 'British' as any Englishman. If we went over history far enough what would we be?

[williammannix123]

@pidgeblev you do know your a brit because the english army walked into our country killed 1 million people took 6 counties and left and dont give me shite about the IRA because the IRA wouldnt of been there if the english army didnt take ireland over

[chikubichan]

@williammannix123 BTW, it should be ...wouldn't HAVE been there....You wrote "...wouldn't OF..."'. (I presume) you wouldn't say to someone 'Of you finished your dinner?' and expect an answer of either 'Yes, I of' or 'No, I ofn't'. Rather it should be '...Have you finished your dinner?' 'Yes I have' or 'No, I haven't '. Makes perfect sense you see, please be careful. The language of Shakespeare, don't you know ( and Oscar Wilde, and Shaw, not to mention Yeats)

[kanenkitten]

@williammannix123: They didn't really take it over, Ireland was given to King Henry II in the 1100's by the Pope.

[williammannix123]

@kanenkitten yes an english pope gave premission to king henry to invade ireland.

[jdi0093113]

@williammannix123 Soctland joined because of monarchy so England and Scotland had a choice. Wales, is wales. Northern Iralnd did have a chose o they would be part of the Republic. Some of you people need to stop listening to the egional nationalists parties and learn unbias history.

[safarigurl150]

@pidgeblev

The WORLD is proud of the Brits trust me. Especially Europe, they certainly set a standard! Such a beautiful ceremony and tradition!

[pidgeblev]

@safarigurl150 ;O)

[fraizer57]

@pidgeblev,Indeed proud of your opium wars.The way you invaded divided humiliated raped looted destroyed so many countries including India Afghanistan Iran as well as Africa&the Middle East.Proud of destroying the Ottomans,chopping the Middle East planting the seeds of92years of war death divison conflict.Proud of stealing oils from Iran for dacades,stealing Gold&other resorces from India&Africa.For occupying MALVINAS&Gibraltar,for fucking Cyprus&destroying so many lives for so many fucking yrs.

[pidgeblev]

[sedwarg]

@fraizer57 jog on

[reges198]

@TanBarbieGirlxox Gordon Jacobs composed the fanfare and arranged the National Anthem for the coronation in 1953.

[knight7fox2]

[anaclet]

Long live the Queen!

[vlsweeper]

does she need saving then?

[Myles0Harcourt]

@vlsweeper

When the song was written, "save" was more of a generic term for "protect" of "keep safe".

[Mavrilon]

God Save the Queen !

[max0715]
