It's good to play a mixture of 'Land Of The Fathers' and 'God Save The Queen' but it's even nicer to play a full welsh anthem.

It's not the full Welsh anthem though, only the 2nd part of it. Wish I could find some old S4C closedowns - they used to play it in full. I live in north-west England, but could pick up HTV and S4C as well (albeit with crap receptions)

@Feisty1967 Welsh anthem embraced all people in welsh, while playing any of the anthems of northern ireland or scotland will have not satisfied nobody in the CC's, because the majority of unionists in scotland will don't like to hear flower of scotland and the minority of independentist would prefer that song to scotland the brave which is neutral. In northern ireland the irish anthem may have be played but unionists will prefer a Londonderry air.

Seems like they were tryintg to placate both the English and the Welsh by playing both Anthems. How come they never did that in Scotland or N. Ireland? seems strange, maybe it's political.

@DuncanMcA Same here! Don't know why though lol
There are LOADS of clips like this on Youtube. Just because someone has posted something on here that you don't like doesn't mean that you go around asking why they uploaded it! YouTube is for EVERYONE, and EVERYONE has different opinions. I like this stuff, you hate it, I like Punk, goth, emo, metal and indie for my music, you might hate them. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. GET OVER IT!
