England and Northern Ireland have 'God Save The Queen', Scotland has 'Flower of Scotland' and Wales has 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau'. (Land of my Fathers).  :y

England has traditionally but unofficially "Jerusalem" as its anthem (and also it could be argued Land of hope and glory). Flower of Scotland and Land of my Fathers are in the same bracket,traditional anthems but not officialy recognised national anthems.

I've heard 'Flower of Scotland' and 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' at international events but I've never heard
'Jerusalem' or 'Land of hope and glory'.  ('Jerusalem' would be my suggestion.)

Much as it pains me to make any comment on anything to do with these proceedings but I’m obliged to say that if these people were playing for the national team, then they should have paid due respect to the anthem of this country.

What a pitiful show of small mindedness.

Insofar as an Anthem for England is concerned, in my view there can only be one.

 :y Yep, me too.

Ever since I saw the interview where the scale model was unveiled. I thought Sheep ? ... Cows ? ... Country side theme ?...Oh dear !!

But no, he absolutely nailed it !!

It would have been good to be there, but much of it worked best on screen. Tens of thousands in the stadium, but a billion viewing on screens around the world...and they were very much taken into consideration.

Too many to choose one favourite section, but if pressed I'd go with Queen Elizabeth's entry with Bond.  :y :y

The team wasnt English it was British,so why they chose not to sing the British national anthem is a mystery to me,or am I missing the point ?  :-\

Somewhere in the lyric theres an anti scottish notion??

What can you say about the Welsh. It rains constantly which enough to put anyone in a mood.


Something along the lines of...
" and with a mighty rush
Rebellious scots to crush"

And obviously my reaction is.... >:( >:( >:(

It is true that Scotland has no 'official' national anthem, however it is usually Flower of Scotland or Scotland the brave played at sporting events

I thought Queenie looked abit hacked off last night!!  :-\  I know she's getting on in years, has had a very busy summer and it was a very long night for an elderly lady, but I think she could have made the effort to smile briefly...  ::)

Maybe it's time to delegate stuff like this to Charlie....  ???

Well that's off to The Tower for me!!!  ::) God Save The Queen!!!  :y :y :y
