@ConcernedCitizenUK Let's be proud of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry being shared with a british scientist, let's be proud of our advances in philanthropy, science, film, theatre and having the 5th best education system in the world.

The proud englishmen were the ones who swept up the riots afterwards, the ones whose spirit never failed or chose counter violence as an option.

Even today, being british is something to be proud of, there will always be more positives than negatives. Just saying.

It was the national anthem for the commonwealth games in 2006, so why not all the time?

This should be England's National Anthem.I am not proud of God Save the Queen.It is not powerful enough for this country.this is far better and more worthy!!!

Am Dutch, living in the UK and this song gives me the chills whenever I hear it. It is a beautiful piece of music and I truly enjoy hearing it every single time.

Seeing the Flemish flag between the rest of the independant states lets a spark of hope ignite deep inside of me...
