Who believes england should change there Anthem? Im not english but i personly believe England should change there anthem from God save the Queen too You'll Never Walk Alone. You'll never walk alone genertes more passion from the English that God Save The Queen.
Would you like England have a different national anthem? I'm Scottish and I had goosebumps on Saturday when Flower of Scotland was belted out. Then last night as I watched the game with my English husband, God Save the Queen just didn't seem to evoke the same passion. Don't get me wrong, I know loads of English people sing with all their hearts, but do you feel it would be better to have a national anthem that isn't sung any where else? Would you sing with more passion if you had a truly English-only song?
Why does the England team have the UK national anthem? Surely the UK anthem - God save the queen should only be used at the olympics where there is a UK/GB team. Englands specific national anthem is land of hope and glory, which I think should be used for English teams. What do you think about this? Yes I know land of hope and glory refers to other parts of the UK Interesting answer Jim, but it was written for that purpose in the 17th or 18th century. In the now, it is synonymous as the anthem for Great Britain as a whole; hence why I'm asking this question
Should the Sharpe theme tune replace current national anthem of England? You have to admit that the current the English national anthem is somewhat antiquated; and a song about a monarchy in a society that preaches democracy is blatant hypocracy. So would the Sharpe theme make a good alternative? Have a listen and decide: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Odqg6_k5E8
Why has England not got its own national anthem to play at individual country sporting events? Having recently watched the commenwealth games I noted that Scotland when they won medals had flower of Scotland played and if Wales had won any then they would have played Land of My Fathers. Both of which are stiring and which represent well their individual countries. When England win anything or the national anthem is played for England it is always the national anthem for Great Britain as a whole (God Save the queen) which is more to do with Royalty and nothing whatsoever to do with England as its own unique country. Suggestions such as Jerusluam and Hope and Glory have both been touted as possibles and both has passion for the country. God save the queen is a bit wishy washy and not properly about England as its own unique country.
Should England Have Its own Anthem? God save the Queen is the national Anthem of the United Kingdom not England, What do you think Englands should be? Here are some Suggestions: Land of Hope and Glory (Pomp And Circumstance) Rule Britannia Jerusalem King George The 5th Favoured "Jerusalem" to be Englands National Anthem instead of God Save The King. Dear Land of Hope, thy hope is crowned. God make thee mightier yet! On Sov'reign brows, beloved, renowned, Once more thy crown is set. Thine equal laws, by Freedom gained, Have ruled thee well and long; By Freedom gained, by Truth maintained, Thine Empire shall be strong. Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, Who are born of thee? Wider still and wider Shall thy bounds be set; God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet God, who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet. Thy fame is ancient as the days, As Ocean large and wide A pride that dares, and heeds not praise, A stern and silent pride Not that false joy that dreams content With what our sires have won; The blood a hero sire hath spent Still nerves a hero son. God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen: Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the Queen! For the benifit for Mr Ben Grimm below god save the Queen isnt englands anthem, its the UK's anthem, why would england have the same anthem as the uk? god save the Queen has been adopted by the people as the anthem because its more well known but it isnt officaly the anthem of england

Should England bother playing the Irish Anthem next year? They don't seem to really know the words (just shout the chorus) and seem to have an issue playing the English one this year. No I'm not English, just fed up with plastic Paddys on here all week. Nice answer Sean, I like the way you express yourself. You're a literary genius
What do atheists say to anthems and flags that have a relgious element too them???? For example the English national anthem has "God Save The Queen" in it, or the fact that the Flag of England is St. Georges Cross and has a christian background to it. DO ATHEISTS WAVE THE ENGLISH FLAG WITH PRIDE????? DO ENGLISH ATHEISTS SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM???? WOULD YOU CATCH RICHARD DAWKINS SINGING "GOD SAVE OUR QUEEN"?????
Are you going to the Ireland Vs England game on Saturday? I got this from the R.S.F website, ya just might want to keep clear from the area where they are all meeting up if it turns out to be DublinRiots part deux, especially English Fans. Sorry to be a scaremonger but i dont want English fans thinking our country is a complete shi thole. This is what was on the website: "Our protest is making a political point and is not anti-rugby. RSF Croke Park protest Republican Sinn Féin has confirmed that it will be holding a protest at the England-Ireland rugby international on February 24 next. Those wishing to protest at the playing of God Save the Queen (English national anthem) and the flying of the English flag in Croke Park whilst England continues to occupy part of Ireland should assemble at the junction of North Circular Road and Summerhill Parade near the Sunset House pub on Saturday, February 24 at 3.30pm. " Come on Ireland!!!!!!!!
If I came to England or France and rode down in the street in an American flag speedo.? Im thinking of coming to London or Paris wearing an American flag speedo while carring a radio which would be playing the American national anthem, all the while I would be riding a skate board. Who would I piss off more? I think British people would think it was funny and the french would get pissed off because they didnt think of it first. Would you guys laugh? I would laugh my ass off!
England - Land of hope and Glory? the real national anthem? in 1901, land of hope and glory was written becoming one of the most patriotic English iconic songs of all time, stiring the hearts and minds of millions for a century through its emotional power. It's traditional English music, an icon of England - arguably our national anthem in waiting. It graces the last night of the proms, one of the most patriotic English traditions. But, a century on, is Britain still percieved as 'the land of hope and glory?' and infact, who thinks it would make a better national anthem than god save the queen and should be our national song (eg for sports)?
What was that that the Scottish Rugby team were singing today? Rugby Union. Scroteland -v- France. When the players line out - today Scotland are playing France - players sing the national anthem. The British national anthem is God Save Our Queen. It is the anthem of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. So why are these people from Scroteland singing about flowers? I am not mad about the French but I hope they win
Would Fabio Capello sing the Italian National Anthem if England ever faced Italy while he is in charge? I can't remember if SGE sang the Swedish Anthem when we played Sweden. What are you guys up to? I am just dowloading music. Thank You Roberto- What are you trying to say, fans of the English NT are hooligans!? I wouldn't mind if he sang it! I don't expect him to sing the English Anthem either. And to the other guy. If England lost I think he would be gutted as he is part of the English Team now, plus he said he never wanted to manage Italy. Here take a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BrAZl-EXzU He said he never wanted to manage Italy. I think its because if he starts getting bad results then he would be slaughtered. The same thing would happen in England. But why should he care, if he gets sacked, it doesn't matter he is not English his family (I don't think) live in England. I know he lives in London now, but if he were to be sacked he could just go back to Italy. Yes he got a bit of Stick first. Especially after that draw with France, but it was difficult for him as Lippi was such a great manager. Yes they lost 3-1 and drew 0-0 at the San Siro
