@markusboyd3 Beautiful music correct. 'Patriotic shit' - absolute nonsense.

There is nothing 'shit' about showing pride in your country, heritage & culture. It's what bonds us together as people.

Your comment smacks of someone who is bitter & twisted.

@blackandproud75 You sir, are an ignorant bastard.

From 2:03 to 2:22 the yellow-white Vatican flag is clearly visible.

It might be quite paradoxical to see a sign of the Pope's visible power during such a demonstration of British patriotism and pride.

But, after all, it reminds, consciously or not, that Edward Elgar was Catholic.

There are times that I do hate living in this country, but I have to say songs like this help remind me of the beauty and history that our country really does have. I have to say even at 20 years old Im excited for the Queens jubilee and the olympics! hopefully they will help us forget about the current doom and gloom that is surrounding us at the moment!

I must confess my ignorance as until some years ago I had always thought this great composition was a theme from a WW2 war movie!..I think this music demonstrates what genius really means and how music is one of the most powerful invisible forces in existence...

I feel patriotic pride for a nation, which is not homeland! :')

Much love from Germany to UK!

@Groessereskind We are proud of the achievements of our country in the past and the present, we invest our lives into paying taxes and furthering our country. And most of us have ancestors within the last three or four generations that served in wars and fought for our country, that is why we are proud. There is nothing wrong with that at all.

@Patches0hulahan we didn't take this as our anthem because its got an introduction as long as our current national anthem.
