For the glory of the empire !!!

Being born British is winning the lottery of life. Celebrate with colours, flags and family x

i love being british :)

and i cant wait to serve my country :)

[Mr1100112233]

this song isn't about England, or about Britain, the song represents humanity, the idea that hope transcend borders, that freedom is an idea that cannot be killed, it recognises though we may have many flags and many languages, we are all human, and though the few will try and divide us, we are stronger together, our similarities outweigh our differences. If people think this song, this idea of hope and glory is something that only the British deserve then you aren’t British at heart, we are one

Why isn't this our National Anthem? We have the best flag (Union Jack), in the world and the worst national anthem.

We lived in the Canton of Neuchâtel for almost 9 years until the end of 1994.

A beautiful country, beautiful people - we still have many Swiss friends - real friends.

We left because a major US Corporation bought our company & fired almost all of the senior managers including me.

Thank you for your sentiments - I will raise my Swiss flag tonight - Just wish that I had one from Auvernier!.

@Taylorgentles What a nice comment to leave on youtube; thank you. It is great time to overcome nationalism. Let's move on. Cheers from Zurich.
