The Royal Wedding - Jerusalem (HD) (29 April 2011)

Uploading this as the moment was inspiring even to this American! Besides, the BBC's coverage lacked the camera shots of the pride-filled English crowds outside -- and if you ask me, that was the true high point of it.

Jerusalem by Will­iam Blake and Charles H. H. Par­ry as performed at the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton

NOTE: It seems all American viewers were fed mono audio of the occasion. (Hello, 1951?!) But you can see this same moment in glorious STEREO here:

... albeit without the cutaway American viewers saw to the crowds outside.

You know what they say: "to be born British is to have won the lottery of life". ;)

This wonderful song ia being sung by all attending...just watch this crowd inside the church and outdoors...These people sing as though they really mean it! They love their country....and so many of them have great histories along with their beloved country. Maybe that's the secret....THEY LOVE THEIR COUNTRY!!!! And I, as an American with a bit ot English inbred, sing with them! This is simply GLORIOUS MUSIC...it stirs my very soul, and quickens my heart! I love it! Thanks to all!

Bloody Americans always claim they're part this or that, I find it funny. Not that you don't have English blood in you, but surely your own national identity is more important?

Also "inbred" means you're born of incest.

I agree there are no "hardcore atheists" only realists who don't live in a wishful thinking fantasy world. Grow up, yes you DO ram religion down people's throats.No child should be exposed to ANY religion until they have reached of consent/rational thought. That is what you people fear most, people thinking for themselves!

They are whether you like or hate them a part of our country's culture and history.

@0:22 Did anyone notice the Queen of Denmark getting up for the hymn. Then she realizes that QE II hadn't got up yet, so she crouches back down. Cute!
