See it baffles me, when it comes to any sporting event outside the common wealth games, like football or rugby etc, Scotland plays their anthem, Wales plays theirs but England plays the British anthem, not Land Of Hope And Glory! It really irritates me!!!!

Not at all. I agree with the Big Yin, if the Queen needs saving, I'm all for it, and I'm sure god is just the chappie for the job!

God help the queen to save others. If she is anything like the portrayal in the movie, "The Queen", then this woman needs some real help.

Why not? She costs us one h**l of a lot less than the elected clowns we jokingly call the British Government.

I think Billy Connley's idea was great, change it to the theme from the Archers.

Certainly, best of all, cancel it or take out the religious tripe.

I think the Queen is beyond saving by now.

For a replacement national anthem, I suggest something by the Beatles ... .. .. All you need is Love.

No, the national anthem may be older than my great gran - dear god - but it's become part of our country, lose our anthem, lose our soul.

duffer-

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.

O Lord our God arise,

Scatter her enemies,

And make them fall:

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix:

God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store

On her be pleased to pour;

Long may she reign:

May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice

God save the Queen.

Lmao.

Something that has a decent tune and doesn't promote an unelected head of state would be nice.

Jerusalem, - The French have a cracking national anthum, we have so many to choose from. Best choice would be Jerusalem - better than God Save the Queen, pompus rubbish.

Why not change it into a rap and then make it our entry for next year's eurovision song contest?

It is very boring.

Land of Hope & Glory wakes you up & a true Englishman feels something within.

Queen or no Queen, its England we should concentrate on.

we have a national anthem? well you learn something everyday, i thought only canada had a national anthem... but if we do have one then it cant be that good. maybe they should get someone famous to sing it.

but if it is god save the queen then it should be changed because i dont think it will go down very well with the king that we will eventaully have.

Well, it is a bit draggy, but it won't likely be changed. I like "Land of Hope and Glory" even if I don't agree with the words - "wider yet and wider shall thy bounds be set". That bothered me, even as a child.

If I had my pick it would be "Jerusalem".

As an American, who has directed your National Anthem numerous times as a bandleader in the US Navy, I would suggest that your Anthem is one of the greatest of all nations.To change or modify this great Anthem would be a disservice to the history and great traditions of your country.Although not a citizen of your great country,we Americans(believe it or not) have great admiration for the customs and traditions of Great Britain. So much so that one of our most revered songs is sung,without disrespect, to the melody of God Save the Queen. Just one Americans' thoughts.

It is well known world wide. The Americans even use the tune for graduations! However it does sound a bit dirgy and does anyone actually know the other verses? We all know the first verse, and on occasion the third verse is sung, but why not the second? and are there any more? Incidentally, the sentiment is about the monarchy, not the incumbent.

Yes bill baily would be funny. I think if it was re-done it would be made by some camp failed pop band like scooch (our eurovision entry).

How about just teaching it to sports stars so they can actually sing it when it's played. I mean it's not a hard song to learn...anything harder might just completely confuse them.

No. Our National Anthem is the best in the world.

It should NEVER be changed. It would just be another part of our culture and traditions washed away.

NOPE. Leave it as it is.

Don't worry about it. The way things are going with Gordon Br-n.w.o. as your Prime Minister, you will soon be singing-

WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.
